We Are Half of Iran's Population plot

Three months before the disputed 2009 Iranian presidential election, Rakhshan Bani-Etemad began producing a political pamphlet-cum-black book about discrimination against women in Iran. In it, a broad coalition of Iranian women's rights activists – from religious to secular – raises pressing questions about their social deprivation. Topics range from polygamy to inheritance law, from censorship, the position of single women and the barriers to female entrepreneurship to the lack of women in government posts.
