Iranian women have a rich and long-standing legacy of political activism. The origins of the Iranian women's movement can be traced back to the emergence of independent women's groups and periodicals during the constitutional revolution of the early twentieth century. Despite women's active presence and contributions to global political developments of the past century, contemporary historical narratives, by and large, remain characterized by gender-blindness. This book problematizes the systemic side lining of women's causes and contributions, not only in the field of historiography, but in Iranian politics at large. It shows that throughout the twentieth century, women's bodies repeatedly emerged as sites of political contestation while their causes were simultaneously instrumentalized and erased from the masculinist political debate. It ultimately posits that the gendering of history constitutes a vital first step towards developing an Iranian intersectional feminist agenda.
