After the Islamic Revolution in 1978, Iranian women faced more controls in their private and social lives, and education, which they thought as a form of freedom, played an important role then. Canada was a proper option for them to engage in education. This book tries to reveal such women immigrated to Canada to find their social position as the free and cultured women. They were in quest of justice and equality believed they have been excluded in Iran. Did Canada make available such an environment for them? This is a question that we are aiming to answer in this book. The present book might be used by the students of academic studies such as social sciences, political economy, women's studies, and similar disciplines.
