Unveiled takes us inside the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement, sparked by the slaying of a young woman for wearing a loose hijab, in what became the most serious challenge the regime has faced in forty-six years. Harounoff has given us a nonfiction drama replete with heroines and villains, one that is sure to captivate readers. -PETER KANN, Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent and former publisher, The Wall Street Journal
In September 2022, twenty-two-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman Mahsa Jina Amini is killed by Iran's morality police in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely. Outrage triggers nationwide protests. Women rip off their headscarves, setting them afire. Others cut their hair in open defiance. Key industries are brought to a standstill, and once-revered banners of the country's Supreme Leader are incinerated. It's the greatest challenge to the Islamic Republic of Iran in its forty-six-year history-not coming from a foreign adversary but from their own freedom-seeking women. Women and girls, perhaps for the first time in the history of the modern Middle East, take center stage in a nationwide uprising, clamoring for a freer Iran and chanting the now-viral battle cry of: Woman, Life, Freedom.
Award-winning British-Iranian journalist Jonathan Harounoff, now serving as Israel's international spokesperson to the United Nations, demystifies the context leading up to these historic protests inside Iran and abroad and examines the potential future ramifications. With much of the global spotlight focused on the Islamic Republic's dangerous foreign policy agenda, Unveiled: Inside Iran's #WomanLifeFreedom Revolt pays tribute to the people of Iran who have paid the ultimate price for freedom.
Absolutely enlightening! -Dr. Phil
An accessible account of modern revolt that illuminates the resilience of Iran's people. -Kirkus Reviews
Unveiled vividly portrays the unwavering resilience and courage of the Iranian people in the face of the regime's repression. It is no longer a question of 'If' a new Iran will emerge but 'When.' -Nazenin Ansari, publisher and managing editor, Kayhan London
