After thousands of years of Persian monarchy, the Iranian people seized power and instituted a strict secular Islamic regime. The revolution sent the despised Shah into exile, put the Ayatollah Khomeini into power, and resulted in the Iran Hostage Crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn all the upheaval, little thought was given to the women who, even after helping install the new regime, would have to face a new kind of oppression in their homes and in the public square.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere, the voices of those women are heard. Evoking the enormous isolation of daily existence, and the persistence of a people living under a repressive regime, these literary gems--many by prize-winning authors--reward us with an inside view of a turbulent and closed society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFereshteh Nouraie-Simone\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian at the American University School of International Service.
