Tracy Clark-Flory on the long history of Iranian women's political involvement and resistance to the regime: 'Hell hath no fury like three decades of women scorned.'

Women face real challenges in Iran, as they have for decades. Yet it is perhaps more important to realize how great their capacity is to solve their own challenges – and Iran’s. A prescient 2006 report from The Institute for Inclusive Security traces the history of Iranian funding their own empowerment, working with civil society groups, and organizing workshops and educational programs. Its key finding? “The struggle for women’s rights is fully intertwined with the larger struggle for democracy.”
