Originally written for the stage, "We, the Women of Tehran" illustrates
from a female standpoint the origins and contradictions of the Iranian
capital, and the rights of religious minorities and women. It showcases
women who have played a leading role in various disciplines and sports
but who all too often have simply become an element in the regime's
propaganda. The volume presents a lively narrative with verses from the
great Persian poets and a hefty dose of irony: as a way to laugh about
complex issues and dismantle misleading stereotypes.
