3.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing, yet poorly written

This review is from: Voices from Iran: The Changing Lives of Iranian Women (Gender, Culture, and Politics in the Middle East) (Paperback)
This book gave me new perspective on Iranian culture. Kousha discussed issues that are most pertinent to women in Iran: mother-daughter relationships, husband-wife relationships, and the different experiences and expectations regarding education and careers.

While the content was interesting, the book was repetitive. For example, on page 54, it says, "Most often, children assume the mother's attitude and beliefs toward the father before they ever get a chance to know him on their own." Two paragraphs later, on page 55, it says, "children assume the mother's attitude toward the father before they themselves have ever had the opportunity to know their father."

If I were to disregard the repetitive nature of the book, it would rate higher.
