Gender Politics in Iran: The Centrality of Female Sexuality

Master thesis | Middle Eastern Studies (MA)
The role of women in the current scholarly debate in Iran is analyzed within the framework of sexuality giving more acknowledgment to the topics of womanhood,female sexuality, and homoerotics. A comparison within medieval writings such as Al-Ghazali's Revivification of Religious Sciences and current translated books will determine women's role within society at the turn of the twentieth century in Iran. Furthermore, the introduction of the hetero-normalization within society will challenge the existing order within society and give a new definition to womanhood.
