IRANIAN WOMEN'S ONE MILLION
SIGNATURES
CAMPAIGN FOR EQUALITY: THE INSIDE
STORY
Eloquently
written by Noushin Ahmadi Khorasani, Iranian Women’s One Million Signatures
Campaign for Equality: The Inside Story details the history, strategies,
and values that brought together a diverse group of Iranian women, men, and
rights activists for the well-known women’s equality campaign. It is a valuable
case study of a new model for grassroots movements in the twenty-first century,
applicable not only in societies ruled by autocratic governments or influenced
by radical fundamentalism, but also in more open and tolerant societies that
have yet to achieve full equality for women.
Campaign for Equality is the second volume in the WLP Translation Series which aims to increase the availability of feminist works produced in the Global South.

"Noushin Ahmadi Khorasani's book is a moving account of the Iranian women's courageous struggle for rights. The story is both inspirational and instructive. It provides a wonderfully readable guide to movement building in the 21st century." Mary Robinson "...an inspiring narrative about ordinary women doing extraordinary things in their quest for justice. A tale that is unique to the circumstances of today's Iran, yet applicable to the struggle for equality anywhere in the world." Yakin Ertürk "This story is a must-read for all those who cherish democracy and freedom...it testifies to the vitality, dynamism, and irrepressible spirit of the women [of Iran] who risked their lives and livelihoods for freedom."
