Iranian Women of 1979

Program Title: WINGS #01-19 The Stolen Revolution Part 1 of 2
Description: Iranian women were at the forefront of the revolution. But after the Shah was deposed and Ayatollah Khomeini returned to the country, the new regime turned against them and everything they had fought for. CBC Radio producer Donya Ziaee, interviewed three participants about their thoughts and actions in that time. Her one-hour documentary, first broadcast on "Ideas," forms a two-part series for WINGS.

She has lived in Sweden since 1984 and worked as an academic, women's rights activist and journalist. Next week: Shahin Navai is an activist in the women's movement and a researcher in the field of Entomology. She fled Iran in 1984 and has since lived in Berlin, Germany.
