dangermousieI am sure anyone who is interested in the issue is already following the fallout over the Iranian election.
However, I found this article especially interesting because it deals with women's issues on the whole.
As you peruse the images coming out of Iran from all over, remember this: when you see a woman with a tunic above her knees, red fingernails, an extremely loose headscarf and a protest sign, try to look beyond the "pretty". Those things are also a symbol of what an Ahmadenijad regime would deny (and, in some cases, has denied) her the right to be.
