‘This moving collection offers a clear understanding of why Iranian women are protesting for freedom and their rights. These women are fearless, brave and utterly powerful.’
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe,  who spent six years incarcerated in Tehran

‘These women appeal to our hearts and souls. Through art and true stories, they reveal the truth against the regime’s lies and give birth to a new reality, one in which Life means Freedom.’ --Azar Nafisi, author 'Reading Lolita in Tehran'

'Halasa ... assembles searing essays, interviews, photos, and art inspired by the protests for women’s rights that spread through Iran starting in 2022. Pulling together diverse voices from Iran and abroad, Halasa paints an affecting and sometimes painfully visceral picture of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. This leaves a mark.' Publishers Weekly

'A striking collection that captures the historic moment in artwork and first-person accounts. Malu Halasa’s book ... shows the power of art and body politics, demonstrating the significance of collective action. Moreover, it celebrates a generation of women the regime has failed to silence.' Aesthetica
