Jane Wood

The People's Imaginative Revolution (Iran, 1979) Jane Wood

Stories, poems, and songs, from an English woman working as a nurse before, during, and after the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Jane Wood has been nursing for over forty years and worked in Britain and abroad. It was pure coincidence that found her in the country of Iran in 1979, but at that precise moment the people started to rise up against the government of the Shah and ousted him from power. Jane noted some of her feelings and thoughts about that experience in song. She has also written poems and stories, and these are all collected here, as a celebration of a world-changing event.
