Women's Life After The Islamic Revolution. A Study Of Iranian Female Authors' Memoirs

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject History - Asia, course: English, language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the description of Iranian women's life after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 as depicted in selected memoirs. It delves into the associated challenges that women in Iranian society were forced to accept following the revolution. After the Islamic Revolution, Iranian women writers started portraying certain aspects of women's lives in their novels. This study presents three selected memoirs authored by Iranian women after the 1979 revolution, structured around both the pre- and post-revolutionary periods. Often, Iranian women intellectuals are forced to endure 'exilic liminality', potentially leading to an existential and identity crisis, the inability to find home either in Iran or the West, and a painful oscillation between cultures and identities. Women in Iranian society had to accept this revolution, or rather, they were enforced to accept it. The investigation primarily focuses on common attributes and problems they face in life post-revolution, along with the progressions in women's lives as depicted inside memoirs.
