[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 128467"] I've just finished [B]"Iran Awakening" by Shirin Ebadi[/B] who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003. It was a truly fascinating read as it offered a point of view that's completely different from my own. I love learning about different cultures and countries around the globe and this offered some insights about life in Iran. I was surprised to learn how good they had it in Iran back when my parents generation were young in the 1960s. It seems like they had more equality then. Unfortunately their society was ruined by the 1979 revolution and the following Iran-Iraq war. :( The book was an autobiography so it was the story of Shirin's life. So after finishing the book I googled the author to find out what had happened to her after the book ended and I was sad to learn that she had been forced into exile in 2009 since I could tell from reading her book how much she loved her native country and had hoped it would rise above all the corruption again. But it seems like the opposite has happened. Anyway I can recommend the book to people who wants to learn more about the situation in Iran. [/QUOTE]
