Please go to link on right side and get the Question!

Hello. Your question touches a sore spot! It is a pity that this silence is over these 2 pioneer women. While a lot of foreign women are mentioned and appraised by Iranian TVs and also some Iranian women, who either voted for Khatami or are writng books about men ,rather than women , are being mentioned and interviewed, one notices that a struggle starting from around 1920 by Fakhr Afagh Parsay is still having a long way to go to bring the awareness of men and women to a higher level to at least know who's struggles whould be mentioned,followed and give them bravery to fight against the suppression of women .
Like fighting against forced hijab on a day called International Women's day. Sorry to say I approached a radio requesting an interview to emphasis my grand mother's struggle for requesting no hijab for women and equal rights for women and was refused! At the same day I saw women like Mrs. Farnoodi who voted for Khatami who is anti-woman,pro-hijab,pro-stonning women was interviewed or those women who write books about men like Mrs. Sarshar writing about shaboon Jafari is being respected more than those who really deserve to be mentioned on this day.

Their story(Parays) has to be told and retold, until people's awareness and braveness level is raised by making them a model. Encouragment of the issue is our duty.
Wishing a brighter future for women of the world and wishing the Iranian women freeedom specially from forced Hijab; Regards Roya
