veiled4allah: women in Iran veiled4allah: women in IranWomen make up the majority of students in key universities -- in one class in the sociology faculty of Tehran University, there were but four male students and 51 women. Women comprise over one-third of the 2.6 million students in the state's semi-open and private and non-profit universities across the country, according to Feridoun Khadem, a demographer.Link found via Magpie.
Going by the latest demographic studies, some one million Iranian women holding bachelor of arts or science and higher degrees are between 27 and 38 years of age.
Iranian women are not preoccupied only with their classes, but have been among the key groups pushing for political reform and more openness in this society caught between the tussle between conservative and reformist clerics in the political leadership.
