For the next 2 years, until she left Iran, she gathered 7 young women, former students, at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss works of Western literature forbidden by the new regime. They used this forum to learn to speak freely, not only about literature, but also about the social, political, and cultural realities of living under strict Islamic rule.10aNafisi, Azar. 0aAmerican literaturexStudy and teachingzIran. 0aEnglish literaturexStudy and teachingzIran. 0aEnglish teacherszIranvBiography. 0aGroup readingzIran. 0aWomenxBooks and readingzIran.
