In 1979, Nasrin Parvaz returned from England, where she had been studying, and became a member of a socialist party in Ira fighting for a non-Islamic state in which woman had the same rights as men. Three years later, at the age of 23, she was betrayed by a comrade and arrested by the regime\u2019s secret police.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nasrin spent the next eight years in Iran\u2019s prison system. She as systematically tortured, threatened with execution, starved and forced to live in appalling, horribly overcrowded conditions. One Woman\u2019s Struggle <\/em>is both an account of what happened to her during those eight years and evidence that her spirit was never broken. Nasrin\u2019s memoir is a story of friendship and mutual support, of how women drew strength from one another and found endless small ways to show kindness and even find tiny specks of joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book, however, is not simply about the prison system in Iran. It is about oppression \u2013 and especially the oppression of woman \u2013 wherever it takes place. It deserves to stand with Primo Levi\u2019s  If This Is A Man <\/em>as an indictment of cruelty, brutality and the dehumanizing of fellow human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
