Reductionist tales, recalling orientalist essentialism, portray Muslim women as passive recipients of politics, who blindly follow the authority of religious men in their pursuit of political power. This book shows that Iranian women have been all but passive victims, and that their political contributions and organizing have been key to any progress made on behalf of sociopolitical movements in contemporary Iran.

Contos reducionistas, que lembram o essencialismo orientalista, retratam as mulheres muculmanas como recipientes passivos da politica, que seguem cegamente a autoridade de homens religiosos em sua busca pelo poder politico. Este livro mostra que as mulheres iranianas foram tudo menos vitimas passivas, e que suas contribuicoes e organizacoes politicas foram fundamentais para qualquer progresso feito em nome de movimentos socio-politicos no Ira contemporaneo.
