| Description |
There are many books on Iranian women, as well as on sports in Iran. This one stands out for its angle of approach and a complex and unique field experience that began at the end of 2010 in a country already marked by profound changes.
Through a quest announced and described in a rich and personal foreword that traces the immersion of a young woman in search of her roots and herself, the reader will be plunged, as a result of a long doctoral work, into a little-known and exciting world, that of women's football.
No researcher had, until then, ventured under the Islamic Republic of Iran and in this way on women's football and the resistance of women that characterizes its development and identity. A multiple, nuanced, sometimes relative resistance, but which has the particularity of highlighting the centuries-old struggles and the indignation of a female and Iranian population determined to take its rightful place in the future of its country.
