Rage Against the Veil: The Courageous Life and Death of an Islamic Dissident
Parvin Darabi
On 21 February 1994, a woman entered a crowded public square in Tehran and lit herself on fire. The media reported that the martyr was Dr Homa Darabi, an advocate of civil rights. This book attempts to recreate her childhood in Iran in the '50s and '60s - a time of limited resources, tensions, and religiously sanctioned child abuse.
