Summary:
In a comprehensive and original analysis, Parvin Paidar considers the role of women in the political process of twentieth-century Iran and demonstrates how political reorganization has redefined their position. Challenging the view expressed by conventional scholarship that emphasizes the marginalization of Muslim women, the author asserts that gender issues are right at the heart of the political process in Iran. The implications of the study bear on the position of women throughout the Middle East and in the developing countries generally.

Dear Professor Paidar your thoughtful points of view in this book is obviously salient.Really it must have taken a long time for you to study so much sources and cite them with honesty. Indeed, I took a lot of advantages from this impartially written book, and I think that no other one can accuse you of favouring any government or political feature in your book. Dear Professor, Since I am writing my own Thesis regarding political participation of women in the process of Iranian Revolution, I see myself completely needy to your invaluable comments about my own ideas in this regard.I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
