Inspired by Nina Ansary’s scholarly journey, Jewels of Allah is a provocative roller coaster ride that shatters the stereotypical assumptions and the often-misunderstood story of women in Iran today. Highlighting many courageous female leaders and advocates throughout Iran’s history, the book illuminates the unanticipated consequences of the Islamic Revolution and the unexpected twists and turns leading to a full-blown feminist movement within a post-revolutionary patriarchal society. Social media and public relations advisor Yasamin Beitollahi will be in conversation with the author.
Following the program, Ansary will visit with guests and sign books. Brazos Bookstore will sell Jewels of Allah on site, and copies can be reserved in advance through their website for pickup at the event.
