The role of women in contemporary Iran.

Starting with the most important events of the last 150 years, Iranian women have played and still play a central role within the public and private sphere of Iran. The book by Sarah Scio 'entitled The role of women in contemporary Iran. An anthropological view, the result of three-year doctoral research, tells, describes, analyzes and studies the role of women in contemporary Iran. A different look from what is normally presented to the public, a new face that wants to describe the strength and courage of many Iranian women who fight daily to have their rights recognized. A very often silent, sometimes public and redundant struggle, which is leading to social change that is most probably not expected. An anthropological story that starts from the extreme south-east of Iran, in the province of Bam, which moves to the regional capital Kerman and ends in the capital Tehran. Stories of women very different from each other, who tell Iran about change and the struggle for rights, from their point of view.
