  • More about Revolt Against Theocracy: The Mahsa Movement and the Feminist Uprising in Iran

The Mahsa Movement, led by young women, challenges the Iranian regime's authority and represents the first truly feminist movement in Iran and the Muslim world. It champions non-Islamic, secularized values and has faced a repressive response from the regime. Farhad Khosrokhavar's book provides a comprehensive account of the events and their significance.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 260 pages
Publication date: 05 September 2024
Publisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd


The book, titled "The Mahsa Movement: A Feminist Uprising in Iran," is the first comprehensive account of the uprising that began on September 16, 2022, following the killing of Mahsa Amini by the morality police. The protests and demonstrations that followed represented the most significant challenge to the Iranian regime in decades, with women playing a pivotal role. The book highlights the feminist nature of the movement, which challenged Islamic values and advocated for non-Islamic, secularized principles based on the joy of living, bodily freedom, and gender equality and democracy. The author, Farhad Khosrokhavar, provides a detailed analysis of the context, background, and character of the Mahsa Movement, as well as the repressive response of the regime. He also explores the broader significance of the movement as one of the most significant feminist movements and political uprisings in the Islamic world. The book is now available as an audiobook, making it accessible to a wider audience.
