Azar Nafisi Quotes

Look At These Magnificent Women, I Thought, Created In Such Misogynistic And Hierarchical Societies, Yet They Are The Subversive Centers Around Which The Plot Is Shaped. Everything Is Supposed To Revolve Around The Male Hero. But It Is The Active Presence Of These Women That Changes Events And Diverts The Man's Life From Its Traditional Course, That Shocks Him Into Changing His Very Mode Of Existence. In The Classical Iranian Narrative, Active Women Dominate The Scene; They Make Things Happen.
