In a Voice of Their Own
A Collection of Stories by Iranian Women, Written Since the
Revolution of 1979
Frank Lewis and Farzin Yazdanfar
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.
