Abstract

This paper examines the contradictory nature of women's support for the Iranian revolution, which severely restricted women's legal and social rights. An analysis of the possibilities and limitations of the pre-revolutionary reforms points to the lack of necessary conditions for the development of an autonomous feminist movement. In the absence of such a movement, the issues of women's oppression were subsumed and muted in the anti-imperialist struggle.
