June 03, 2009
Shatot2 asks whether Iran might be poised for a dramatic first, presumably in the form of Zahra Rahnavard, wife of reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Musavi:

Has there ever been a woman senior appointment in the country's political realm who has had the courage and bravery to wear a mantel with jeans and wave in response to people's displays of emotions while hand in hand with her husband and a face adorned in makeup...?!

About This Blog
Persian Letters offers a window onto Iranian life by translating and showcasing the works of Persian-language bloggers. Through their voices -- from clerics, to anarchists, feminists, or bus drivers -- we hope to sample the electronic dialogue going on within a society that is tough to characterize and often contradictory, but always interesting. We are not responsible for their views, however. You can write the editor of the blog, Golnaz Esfandiari, at <esfandiarig+rferl.org
