Index
520 Drawing from a rich array of visual and literary material
from nineteenth-century Iran, this groundbreaking book
rereads and rewrites the history of Iranian modernity
through the lens of gender and sexuality. Peeling away
notions of a rigid pre-modern Islamic gender system,
Afsaneh Najmabadi provides a compelling demonstration of
the centrality of gender and sexuality to the shaping of
modern culture and politics in Iran and of how changes in
ideas about gender and sexuality affected conceptions of
beauty, love, homeland, marriage, education, and
citizenship. She concludes with a provocative discussion
of Iranian feminism and its role in that country's current
culture wars. In addition to providing an important new
perspective on Iranian history, Najmabadi skillfully
demonstrates how using gender as an analytic category can
provide insight into structures of hierarchy and power and
thus into the organization of politics and social life
