From the Paper:

"It is often said that American women these days don't understand what Feminism has done for them. They take for granted their right to vote, their opportunities to play sports and attend college, and their ability to work in traditionally male professions including law and medicine. In many ways, this is true. But only of American women. American women easily forget the strides Feminism has made in securing rights and privileges on their behalf. However, their counterparts in the Middle East, particularly in Iran, have not forgotten. To the contrary, Iranian women look to the strides made over the past century by American women and seek to duplicate those efforts. Of course, their efforts are in the early stages. Because Islamic law prevents women from organizing as American women did in the late 1800s, Iranian women have set the stage for Feminism and for activities which will ultimately grant Iranian women rights on par with men. Shortly thereafter, it is reasonable to predict that the Iranian women's movement will expand to worldwide issues and concerns, just as American Feminists have."
