While the ancient world was often dominated by patriarchal societies, let’s shine a spotlight on a remarkable aspect of ancient Iranian culture: the role of women! 🌺💼 Unlike many of their contemporaries, women in ancient Iran enjoyed a level of status and rights that might surprise you.
From wielding economic power to participating in public life, they embodied strength, resilience, and independence. 💼💫In ancient Iranian society, women had the right to inherit property, engage in business ventures, and even represent themselves in legal matters.
Their contributions weren’t just confined to the domestic sphere; they played active roles in shaping their communities and society as a whole. 🏛️✨Archaeological findings and historical accounts offer glimpses into the lives of these extraordinary women, showcasing their diverse talents and achievements.
Whether as merchants, landowners, or even priestesses, they left an indelible mark on the fabric of ancient Iranian civilization. 📜🌿As we celebrate the rich heritage of ancient Iran, let’s also celebrate the resilience and empowerment of the women who helped shape it.
Their stories serve as a timeless reminder of the enduring strength and potential of women throughout history. 💖
The Iranian women’s ice hockey team won the championship of the Asia-Pacific ice hockey tournament. What is happening to women in Iran?! 🤔🤯😉😂
Yes, if you ask me why this outstanding female education ratio happened in Iran but not our neighboring countries!
I will tell you because of the Pahlavi dynasty.
During the reign of The Great Reza Shah I, education was established as a fundamental right for women in Iran. However, following the fall of the Gajar regime and the rise of the Islamic Republic, Iran’s future looked bleak. If the country continued down this path, it risked becoming one of the most oppressive and closed-minded nations in the world, far worse than even the Taliban.
This is the reason Iranians love the Pahlavi dynasty. Whatever Iran has had so far because of the beloved Pahlavi dynasty.

Involving Iranian women activists abroad dilutes Afghan women leaders’ efforts to secure international solidarity and support in their rightful campaign against the world’s only gender apartheid regime in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
While Iranian women are welcome to support Afghan women’s peculiar cause, they shouldn’t liken their far better situation to that of suffering Afghan women under medieval misogynistic Taliban. As illustrated, women in Iran enjoy most basic human rights as their male counterparts: education, work, freedom of movement, sports, access to a variety of socioeconomic services and facilities, and much more which Afghan women can hardly dream of under the Taliban.
Indeed, however, women in Iran are facing different challenges and demand additional rights, to which Iranian activists abroad may draw international attention but without undercutting and overshadowing the unprecedented tragedy facing Afghan women.
