This article is translated by Shirin Saeidi, and originally appeared in Etemaad on February 7, 2008:
http://www.etemaad.com/Released/86-11-18/213.htm Society group, Mahdi Afruzmanesh: The 29th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution coincides with assessments from government, state and military officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the role of women in such sensitive areas as the revolution and war. In most recent discussions, which occurred last week, the director of women representatives in Majlis, although mistakenly referencing Simon Bulivar of Venezuela while intending to reference the French Simone de Beauvoir philosopher and feminist theorist, nevertheless asserted naming one of the streets in Tehran “Shahid Women,” corresponding with a conference on the martyred women of Iran held by Bonyad Shahid [Martyrs Institute] of the Islamic Revolution. This event, especially in conjunction with attempts at alternative representations of the revolutionary women of Iran, is noteworthy. In contrast to previous years, during which the Fajr Festival and the Week of Holy Defense focused solely on the role of men in the revolution and war, in recent years and particularly this year, we are paying closer attention to female revolutionaries. Not women standing by husband’s engaged in the struggle, but women who individually embodied the full character of a resistant force. It is in this context, and for the first time, that national discussions are held regarding women tortured by SAVAK, armed female members of organizations during the revolution, and female military and operative agents during the war.
