Iran awakening : a memoir of revolution and hope
Ebadi, Shirin
Iran awakening : a memoir of revolution and hope / Shirin Ebadi with Azadeh Moaveni - New York : Random House , c2006. - 232 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Ebadi, the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was part of the most liberated generation in Iran. She and a small cohort of other women students wore miniskirts and moved about freely. Ebadi became the first woman judge in Iran, only to be forced out after the 1979 revolution. In her simply narrated memoir, she describes how she loyally remained in Iran as many members of the elite fled and how her experiences motivated her to struggle harder for justice and civil rights, a struggle that even extended to a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, which had issued regulations making it impossible for this memoir (the product of an embargoed country) to be published.
