☆ Listening to Women in Revolutionary Tehran
▼ + stars: | 1979-03-12 | by ( Negar Mottahedeh | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had just returned from exile, and a national referendum on the creation of an Islamic Republic was still months in the future. The interim government imposed new rules and regulations, but these seemed haphazard and malleable in that flickering moment of possibility when protest and debate could still alter the country’s trajectory.
