Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"By centering activist work, Sameh presents initiatives and projects that strive to disrupt existing colonial, patriarchal narratives and ways of life to replace them with feminist solidarities and practices with the goal of increasing women’s rights for Iranian women."

* Ms. Magazine *

"Focusing on the women’s rights movement in Iran, Sameh (Univ. of California, Irvine) creates a portrait of the country that problematizes common understandings that are framed by dichotomous terms. As such, the book should be of interest not only to those studying women’s rights movements or Iran, but also, due to the book's method of analysis, to anyone who believes the humanities are tasked with helping us understand the dynamism, complexity, contradictoriness, and messiness of social phenomena"
