Women with Mustaches and Men without Beards : Gender and Sexual Anxieties of Iranian Modernity

這本開創性的書借鑒了十九世紀伊朗豐富的視覺和文學資料，通過性別和性的視角重讀並重寫了伊朗現代性的歷史。剝開僵化的前現代伊斯蘭性別體系的觀念，Afsaneh Najmabadi提供了一個有力的證據，說明性別和性別在伊朗塑造現代文化和政治的重要性，以及關於性別和性別觀念的變化如何影響了美的概念，愛情，家園，婚姻，教育和公民身份。她以對伊朗女權主義的挑釁性討論及其在該國目前的文化戰中的作用作為結束。

Najmabadi除了對伊朗歷史提供一個重要的新視角之外，還巧妙地展示瞭如何將性別作為一個分析範疇來洞察層級和權力的結構，進而進入政治和社會生活的組織。

Drawing from a rich array of visual and literary material from nineteenth-century Iran, this groundbreaking book rereads and rewrites the history of Iranian modernity through the lens of gender and sexuality. Peeling away notions of a rigid pre-modern Islamic gender system, Afsaneh Najmabadi provides a compelling demonstration of the centrality of gender and sexuality to the shaping of modern culture and politics in Iran and of how changes in ideas about gender and sexuality affected conceptions of beauty, love, homeland, marriage, education, and citizenship. She concludes with a provocative discussion of Iranian feminism and its role in that country's current culture wars.

In addition to providing an important new perspective on Iranian history, Najmabadi skillfully demonstrates how using gender as an analytic category can provide insight into structures of hierarchy and power and thus into the organization of politics and social life.
