- Iranian Women's One Million Signatures Campaign for Equality: The Inside Story
The One Million Signatures Campaign for the Reform of Discriminatory Laws is an extraordinary phenomenon. It is democratic, nonhierarchical, open, and evolving in a polity that is none of those things. Iranian activist Noushin Ahmadi Khorasani chronicles the campaign’s efforts and provides a valuable case study of how to build a movement in the twenty-first century, not only to bring change in societies ruled by autocratic governments or influenced by radical fundamentalism, but also in the more open and tolerant societies that have yet to achieve full equality for women.
