In a Voice of Their Own

A Collection of Stories by Iranian Women, Written Since the Revolution of 1979
Frank Lewis and Farzin Yazdanfar


in-a-voice.gif (27662 bytes)This collection provides a window on the concerns of Iranian women, writers in particular, since the Revolution of 1979 and the establishment of Islamic Republic in Iran. The collection includes eighteen stories written by more than a dozen women during the last twenty years, some of them well-known writers and others just establishing their careers. In these stories, most never before available in translation and rendered here into readable English that captures the style and flavor of the original Persian, Iranian women speak in their own voice to the western reader about marriage, sex, politics, exile and the place of women in Iranian society.
