A Crash Course in Iranian Politics & Changing Society from Author/Speaker Azadeh Moaveni

As a reporter for Time magazine, Azadeh Moaveni is one of the few American journalists allowed to work continuously in Iran since 2000. Her revealing first book, Lipstick Jihad, painted a portrait of the Iranian youth generation courageously trying to transform their society from the inside out – through public and private behaviors, not politics. Her understanding of the youth culture, politics, women’s’ rights, and Islamic reform in the Middle East is timely – as the region remains unstable during the recent elections. With their nuclear capacity and global threat, it is crucial we understand the people and government of Iran.

Moaveni’s latest book, Honeymoon in Tehran, is her personal story of meeting, falling in love and marrying an Iranian man, and through these personal experiences, she has gained deeper insights into the critical events happening there --revealing a contradictory and fascinating view of this controversial region.
