520 $aThis is the story of Azar Nafisi's dream and of the nightmare that made it come true. Prof. Nafisi resigned from her job as professor of English Literature at a university in Tehran in 1995 due to repressive government policies. For two years before she left Iran in 1997, Nafisi gathered seven young women at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss works of Western literature forbidden by the new regime. They were all former students whom she had taught at university. They were unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they began to open up and to speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments, and also about the social, political, and cultural realities of living under strict Islamic rule. Nafisi's account flashes back to the early days of the revolution, when she first started teaching at the University of Tehran amid the swirl or protests and demonstrations. Azar Nafisi's tale offers a fascinating portrait of the Iran-Iraq war viewed from Tehran and gives us a rare glimpse, from the inside, of women's lives in revolutionary Iran.
