Review of Part 2: Beyond the Veil


If you think you know what these Iranian women are going to say, you're probably (mostly) wrong. Another angle on this fascinating culture where the interviews lead us to even more questions than they answer.

This report focuses on the paradoxes of women's lives within the evolving religious/political structure, their legal status, educational and career opportunities. How those things intertwine is often surprising and gives us (Americans, anyway) plenty to think about.

The internal forces within Iranian society and how they interconnect may be old and strong. But current dynamics are complex, modern and anything but stagnant.

Thanks so very much for this series!
