"The streets of Tehran and other Iranian cities are patrolled by militia, who ride in white Toyota patrols, four gun-carrying men and women, sometimes followed by a minibus. They are called the Blood of God. They patrol the streets to make sure that women like Sanaz wear their veils properly, do not wear makeup, do not walk in public with men who are not their fathers, brothers,
or husbands" --Azar Nafisi, in Reading Lolita in Tehran


Azar Nafisi, the author of a new book, Reading Lolita in Tehran, writes about her life and that of other women in fundamentalist Iran.
