Doesn't seem like they are kept as uneducated kept at home display things, does it? Quite to the contrary, this article sites the Iranian women as the engine of change both before and after the revolution. Don't you think if the society as a whole could not accept women in important positions, this would not have been the case? The thing to keep in mind when looking at the middle east (or any other region for that matter) is that many women issues are not women issues at all; they are simply reflections of larger socio-political problems of the whole country. It is not so much that Iranian women are oppressed and are fighting for their rights, but that the Iranian people as whole are oppressed and are fighting for their freedom. I don't have the numbers here, so I am only talking based on my impression of the events, but Iranian women are very active in trying to bring in political change to their country. Yet I am pretty sure the number of women killed at the hands of the regime is considerably less than the number of men executed for similar "crimes". Doesn't seem like women always get the short end of the stick there. Like you said, interesting reads. ST
