Populism and Feminism in Iran : Women's Struggle in a Male-Defined Revolutionary Movement PDF
by Haideh Moghissi
Part of the Women's Studies at York Series series
Description
Women presented the first effective challenge to the Islamic regime and the clerical authority in post-revolutionary Iran.
Women's activism in support of their legal rights and personal freedom, however, did not develop into a strong movement against the rising fundamentalism.
The Iranian socialists did not support women's autonomous organizations.
The convergence of the Left's populism with Islamic populism, and the influence of the Iranian/Shiite political culture that promotes male authority and female submission, could not reconcile with women's claims to individual rights, choice, and personal freedom and their struggle for autonomy and self-determination in private or public life.
