Abstract:
"Gender and sexuality in modern Iran is frequently examined through the prism of nationalist symbols and religious discourse. Batmanghelichi interrogates how normative ideas of women's bodies in state, religious, and public health have resulted in the female body being deemed as immodest and taboo. This book brings much needed research to the discourse around bodily technologies"--
