The document discusses the role of women in public spaces in Iran. It notes that contrary to expectations, following the Iranian Revolution of 1979, women entered the workforce in larger numbers than anticipated as those following the Quran welcomed their participation. Their increased presence in public spaces gave women a new awareness of their individual and citizen rights. These changes can also be attributed to women's desire to remain active in public life and show the government they would not be disenfranchised, establishing themselves as an important part of Tehran's public culture.
