Iranian Women's clothes circa 1979

Before the Islamic Revolution, the culture of Iran was extremely different than what it is now. In some ways, before the revolution, Iran was seen as more liberal than conservative as it is seen now. Before, women could walk around as they pleased they were independent. but now, due mostly in leu to cultural and religious standards women must dress a certain way. now they must cover most of their body not allowing any part be exposed to the rest of the world.
