{"product_id":"voices-from-iran-the-changing-lives-of-iranian-women-9780815629818","title":"Voices from Iran: The Changing Lives of Iranian Women","description":"\u003cp\u003eMahnaz Kousha interviewed fifteen Iranian women in Tehran who originally came from cities and towns throughout Iran. The youngest was 38, the eldest in her 50s. Extensive excerpts from their dialogues form the heart of this remarkable book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith admirable candor the women explore their relationships with their mothers, fathers, husbands, and children. They reflect upon the institutions of courtship and marriage and address issues of childcare, housework, and women's employment. They talk openly about their concerns, ambitions, and frustrations. Finally, they discuss everyday personal problems and the solutions they devise to cope with such difficulties. Offset by telling commentary, these conversations offer significant firsthand insights into the life experiences of the modern Iranian woman and her brave search for identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause it covers previously uncharted ground, this volume fills a sizable gap in the study of gender and family relationships in Iran. Abundant footnotes on similar studies in the United States and other countries not only add sociological richness, but also make the book relevant beyond Iran and the Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahnaz Kousha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 5.94w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815629818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2002 pg. 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2003 pg. 79","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40414649614451,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":33.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a8126b61-5bd1-4ccd-9c68-b01935a8d6dc.jpg?v=1662213325","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/voices-from-iran-the-changing-lives-of-iranian-women-9780815629818","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
