1979 Generation Episode 3: Haideh Moghissi on Feminism, Revolution and the Right to Joy

[This interview was conducted as part of the "1979 Generation" series on Status/الوضع. Click here to listen to previous episodes in this series.]

About the "1979 Generation" Series


This series focuses on feminism and revolution by drawing on personal memory as well as activist and scholarly engagements. Iran Page co-editor, Manijeh Moradian, interviews Iranian feminists who lived through the 1978-1979 revolution and whose experiences and insights contribute to a body of knowledge that is invaluable for understanding the revolution and politics in Iran today. We invite our guests to tell their stories of revolutionary upheaval and the contested role of women in the national liberation project and to reflect on what feminism means to them. Our hope is to create an archive of the lived experiences of Iranian feminists of the "1979 generation" that can preserve their legacy and make it available to future generations.
