Riassunto

Journalist Efandiari returned to her native Iran in 1992 after an absence of 14 years, and interviewed professional women who had remained in the country despite the suspension of women's rights and the enforcement of rigid dress codes after the 1979 revolution. They reveal a complexity to their situation in which they use the government's acknowledged reliance on professional women as a lever to resist suppression. Paper edition (unseen), $15.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
