Description
This collection explores a wide range of issues surrounding
women's employment in Iran, tracing its evolution during
the past five decades. Contributors address the influence of globlalization,
the presence of an informal sector, and the accelerating
trend in the size and diversity of the female workforce.
Together these essays offer a nuanced and complex picture of
Iranian women in the workplace, one that emphasizes the ways
in which women have challenged Islamism to become agents
of social transformation rather than victims of religious fundamentalism.
Advance Praise
"No other book analyzes the economic role of Iranian women as comprehensively and empirically as this book. . . . It advances an understanding of the gender implications of development policies."
-Eric
Hooglund, author of Twenty Years
of Islamic Revolution: Political and Social Transition
in Iran since 1979
