Azar Nafisi on "Women, Culture, Human Rights: the case of Iran".WASHINGTON, DC –"Azar Nafisi is uniquely qualified to speak to American audiences about advancing human rights and democracy,". Azar Nafisi, best-selling author of Reading Lolita in Teheran, addressed the topic, "Women, Culture, Human Rights: The Case of Iran," at the second lecture of the New York Democracy Forum (NYDF) to held at the Kaye Playhouse of Hunter College on Wednesday, April 20, 2005-." Dr. Nafisi’s critically-acclaimed book is based upon her experience in Iran leading a discussion group of young women on forbidden works of Western literature prior to fleeing that country for the U.S. in 1997. As a professor of aesthetics, culture and literature at the Free Islamic University, Allameh Tabatabaii, and the University of Tehran-where she was eventually expelled for refusing to wear the mandatory Islamic veil-she earned national respect and international recognition for advocating on behalf of Iran's intellectuals, youth, and especially young women.

Nafisi has written her own book about the dark days in Iran that left her and many other intellectuals, feeling, as she writes, "irrelevant." Part memoir, part literary criticism, part social history, it is a celebration not just of survival, but of imagination, and the essential spirit of literature
