Hardback. Condizione: New. On February 21, 1994, a gesticulating and screaming woman entered a crowded public square in Tehran, removed her government-mandated veil and full coat, poured gasoline on her body and lit herself on fire. The crowd watched in horror as this woman, who had shouted, "Death to tyranny! Long live freedom!", committed a slow, painful suicide in a last, desperate attempt to make the world aware of the slavelike conditions of women living in Iran.A shockwave was felt in the American medical and feminist communities as well as in the Iranian political regime when the media reported that the self-appointed martyr was well-respected Dr. Homa Darabi, a lifelong advocate of civil rights and the first Iranian ever to be accepted into the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Darabi had risen from a student activist to a civil rights leader and moved on to a brilliant career in medicine as a premier psychiatrist, teaching at the University of Tehran, and establishing the first clinic in Iran to treat children's mental disorders.In this moving memoir, Darabi's sister,Parvin, and her son, Romin P. Thomson, vividly recreate Homa's childhood in Iran in the politically tempestuous '50s and '60s-a time of limited resources, tensions, and religiously sanctioned child abuse. They remember Homa's early yearnings for justice; the battle for democracy during the Shah's regime; and her marriage, which began as a loving partnership and ended under Khomeini in disaster. They unflinchingly recount the stonings, beatings, rapes, and executions of women, all performed in the name of God-outrageous abuses that Dr. Homa Darabi tried to expose to the world through her own final act of desperation.If you care about basic human rights, this scathing indictment of contemporary oppression in Iran will enrage you.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. On 21 February 1994, a gesticulating and screaming woman entered a crowded public square in Tehran, removed her government-mandated veil and full coat, poured gasoline on her body and lit herself on fire. The crowd watched in horror as this woman, who had shouted, 'Death to tyranny! Long live freedom!', committed a slow, painful suicide in a last, desperate attempt to make the world aware of the slave-like conditions of women living in Iran. A shockwave was felt in the American medical and feminist communities as well as in the Iranian political regime when the media reported that the self-appointed martyr was well-respected Dr Homa Darabi, a lifelong advocate of civil rights and the first Iranian ever to be accepted into the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Darabi had risen from a student activist to a civil rights leader and moved on to a brilliant career in medicine as a premier psychiatrist, teaching at the University of Tehran, and establishing the first clinic in Iran to treat children's mental disorders. Darabi's sister Parvin, an activist and writer since her immigration to California in 1964, was left with only questions the day her sister took her own life.And those questions led to a careful examination of Homa's life in the shadow of an oppressive Muslim regime, where the intelligent and outspoken Dr Darabi courageously tried to make a difference. Masterful storytellers, Parvin, and her son, Romin P Thomson, vividly recreate Homa's childhood in Iran in the politically tempestuous '50s and '60s - a time of limited resources, tensions, and religiously sanctioned child abuse. They remember Homa's early yearnings for justice; the battle for democracy during the Shah's regime; and her marriage, which began as a loving partnership and ended under Khomeini in disaster. They unflinchingly recount the stonings, beatings, rapes, and executions of women, all performed in the name of God - outrageous abuses that Dr. Homa Darabi tried to expose to the world through her own final act of desperation. On 21 February 1994, a woman entered a crowded public square in Tehran and lit herself on fire. The media reported that the martyr was Dr Homa Darabi, an advocate of civil rights. This book attempts to recreate her childhood in Iran in the '50s and '60s - a time of limited resources, tensions, and religiously sanctioned child abuse.

Hardcover. dj. First edition. Briefly inscribed on the title page by Parvin Darabi. Sticker to front cover "2000 Independent publisher IP Award Finalist." "Dr. Homa Darabi had been one of the most prominent child psychiatrists in Iran. She was married and had brought two successful, ambitious daughters into the world. She was licensed to practice medicine in Iran and in forty-nine states in the United States. She was the first Iranian ever to be accepted to the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. She established the first clinic in Iran dedicated to treating children suffering from mental disorders that, until then, were thought to be incurable. She taught at the University of Tehran, worked at its hospital, and managed her own private practice." "But Iran did nothing to welcome or appreciate her. She was mired in a society that placed little value on the rights of women." "Dr. Darabi was appalled by the laws of the hijab - the Islamic dress code for women - which were being resurrected under Khomeini. These new laws required women to cover all parts of their bodies, with the exception of the face and hands, in public. These laws are often the most talked about throughout the world. But beyond the laws of hijab existed other government sanctioned rules. The testimony of a man was equal in value to the testimony of two women. Islamic women could not serve as judges. A woman could not travel, work, or go to college without her husband's permission. Yet a man could divorce his wife without even telling her. In family court, a mother could not be granted custody of her children unless the father and grandfather refused custody." "Throughout her life, she fought to change the inequities and reverse the injustices faced by all people in Iran, in the end, the obstacles proved too powerful for her to overcome. Those obstacles took the form of a husband who seemed apathetic to his wife, a government that treated her with contempt, and acombination of influences that affected her life from the day she was born until the day she died by her own hand - burning herself in a public square in Tehran to protest the oppression of the Islamic Republic of Iran." "Haunted by the questions surrounding her sister's death, Parvin Darabi and her son, Romin P. Thomson, examine the life of this courageous woman." A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Signed.…
