Of the modern issues, gender has been a serious and major one, and mainly shadowed by the western studies. In this book Dr.Mohammadi takes a different approach, the Question of gender is studied through old mythical rituals and also poetry, the study is not encyclopedically done but is a more of a gateway to a new look. Of course if one wants to have an understanding of the roots of gender issues in Iranian culture and politics, one need to understand its oldest aspects. Each chapter is started with a poem, from old to new, and each poem shows an aspect of the issue. This book is genuinely interesting.
