Abstract

This revised edition includes a postscript contextualizing this classic work within contemporary Iranian society. Law of Desire contains some very interesting, often heartbreaking, life stories of women...It is the first of its kind to deal with a taboo issue which, despite its social and political importance, has been neglected and overlooked by a wide range of political opinion in Iran. - Feminist Review
