Unveiled: Inside Iran’s #Wom­an­Life­Free­dom Revolt chron­i­cles the most exis­ten­tial chal­lenge to have faced the Islam­ic Repub­lic of Iran in its forty-six-year his­to­ry. That most exis­ten­tial threat was posed not by Israel or the Unit­ed States, eco­nom­ic dis­tress or a loom­ing envi­ron­men­tal dis­as­ter, but by the regime’s own free­dom-seek­ing women.

Draw­ing on exclu­sive, heart-wrench­ing inter­views with sur­vivors of the 2022 uprising and key Iran­ian oppo­si­tion lead­ers in the dias­po­ra, Unveiled will serve as a much-need­ed guide as the remark­able sto­ry of the “Woman, Life, Free­dom” protests con­tin­ue to unfold.
