The Islamic Revolution


First off, I don't expect you to know much, if anything, about the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran or about Iran in general. That said, how do you picture the lives of women in Iran today? What do you think women do over there? How are they treated by men? Are they oppressed by men or by their culture? What are their desires, goals, and struggles? Are they different from women in the United States? From where do you get your ideas about Iranian women and Iran in general?


Also, do you think the Islamic Revolution was beneficial or catastrophic for Iran (or somewhere in between)? Why do you say so?

Thank you!
