This is a picture of Iranian women nomads during Reza Shah
era [See larger
photo with Reza Shah], prelude to the compulsory
unveiling of Iranian woman (somehow it reminds me of what Americans
did to
the
Native
Indians).
In
January 7, 1936 Reza Shah, his wife, and their two young daughters,
Shams and Ashraf, attended The Teacher's Training College in Tehran.
Attending women were told not to wear veil. This day became known
as the Emancipation of Women day in Iran. However the actual Compulsory
Unveiling Law was passed on February 1,1936. Photo from "The
Shah of Iran" (1999),
