Iranian society is in a period of transformation connected to demographic changes, social forces, politics, economics, and advances in social media. Despite facing on-going obstacles, Iranian women continue to put great effort into gaining equal rights and privileges, a higher level of social and political inclusion, as well as a higher level of gainful employment—with the caveat that lower class women with less education and fewer resources experience more obstacles and injustices than women from the more educated middle and upper classes. However, high unemployment among men and particularly women has exacerbated inequalities in Iranian society despite the country's demographic improvements and other markers of modernization (lowered fertility and mortality, educational attainment, increase in marriage age, etc.). The challenge is: Can Iran diversify its oil-dependent economy to support its youth bulge and how might those changes impact women's status in society? The article also briefly touches on how social media, Tweeting, YouTube, and blogs, coincident with an unusually large and much more educated post-Revolution/post-Iran-Iraq baby boom generation, have contributed to a new generation that questions the status quo. However, only time can tell whether a strong presence in the virtual public space will translate into a stronger presence in the physical public space.
