iran awakening

This is a very good book, and I enjoy reading it. It mostly talks about women and their lives. Shirin Ebadi is the main character. Her father is the deputy minister of agriculture in the popular government of Prime Minister Mossadegh. Her father always treated her and her brothers as equals, which rarely happened. Ebadi graduated from law at 22 years of age, and she became a judge. The people stated seeing a lot of events happen that angered them, and made them want to overthrow the Shah. One event was very gruesome and disturbing. This event was the burning of a crowded cinema in 1978. Four hundred people died. This was shocking. I could not believe things like this happened in Iran. It is truly unbelievable what I hear what goes on in other countries around the world. I feel so lucky sometimes to live where I do now.
