The Testimony Of Two Women Is Equal To That Of One Man. Any Woman Who Wishes To Travel Needs The Written Permission Of Her Husband. And The Number Of Unemployed Women Is Four Times That Of Men.

Unfortunately, The United States And A Few Other Governments Have Used The War On Terrorism As A Way Of Violating Human Rights. I Am Referring To The Case Of The Guantánamo Bay Prisoners.

In My Memoir, I Wanted To Introduce American Women To Iranian Women And Our Lives. I'm Not From The Highest Echelons Of Society, Nor The Lowest. I'm A Woman Who Is A Lawyer, Who Is A Professor At A University, Who Won The Nobel Peace Prize. At The Same Time, I Cook. And Even When I'm About To Go To Prison, One Of The First Things I Do Is To Make Enough Food And Put It In The Fridge For My Family.
