Women with Mustaches and Men without Beards Book by Afsaneh Najmabadi (Farsi)

Description

Women with Mustaches and Men without Beards by Afsaneh Najmabadi, a professor of history and gender studies at Harvard University, examines how gender and sexual anxieties shaped Iranian modernity. Focusing on the Qajar period, Najmabadi traces transformations in concepts of nation, gender, homeland, and science as Iran encountered Western modernity. Drawing on travelogues, novels, poetry, paintings, textiles, and coins, she uncovers the traces of gender and sexuality in cultural artifacts. Her meticulous research and theoretical insight make this a groundbreaking work in Iranian modern history, political studies, and gender studies, challenging dominant narratives of the Qajar era.
