Abstract
Abstract Told that she was on the revolutionaries’ death list if she returned to Iran, the author began her life in exile in the US, as she pledged to continue her work for the women of Iran for the rest of her life. Her long-time friends Senator Jacob and Marion Javits became her American family in exile. The author stood by Princess Ashraf, who had been publicly vilified and abandoned by friends. Prime Minister Hoveyda and others had been executed by firing squads after their secret trials by an Islamic revolutionary court had ended with death sentences; while the shah, ill with cancer, was forced to move from country to country. In 1979 the author received a message to urge her husband Gholam to leave Iran, which he did, via a clandestine border crossing. Gholam secured a position at Stanford, where he wrote The Iranian Revolution: Thanatos on a National Scale, while the author deliberated on the next steps in her life.
