Women, Post Revolution

Women were affected greatly by the Islamic Revolution. With the increase in religious control in the government, reforms were made in order to have society reflect certain religious views. Women did not feel like they had any power with the new regime. Women were told to look towards men for guidance, and to know what happens in society (Iranchambers.com). Women went from having power in society, to barely having any. They had to follow everything men said. Education was not encouraged by society, especially not higher education. many colleges became male only in order to deter women from going to college (iranchambers). It seems that women lost all their rights and the equality they had fought for. Women's role in society went from being equal to men to not having much say in society at all.
