More on women’s rights in Iran from Wikipedia:

Iranian women played a significant role in the Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1905–11. They participated in large numbers in public affairs, and held important positions in journalism and in schools and associations that flourished from 1911 to 1924.

Although the defeat of the constitutionalists (1921–25) and the consolidation of power by Reza Shah (1925–41) destroyed the women’s journals and groups, the state implemented social reforms such as mass education and paid employment for women during this period. Reza Shah also began his controversial policy of Kashf-e hijab, which banned the wearing of the Islamic hijab in public. Like other sectors of society during Reza Shah’s rule, however, women lost the right to express themselves and dissent was repressed.

When the Iranian Revolution started in 1977, many women in metropolitan cities marched in protest and wore chadors. Women played a significant role in the success of the revolution.[23] Their role was both praised and encouraged by the revolutionary leader Ruhollah Khomeini […] With the rise of Khomeini, women’s roles were limited;[25] they were encouraged to raise large families and tend to household duties. Khomeini believed this to be the most important role women could pursue. Khomeini’s belief led to the closing of women’s centres, childcare centers and the abolition of family planning initiatives. Women were restricted to certain fields of work, such as midwifery and teaching.

And lots of further detail. Morbidly fascinating to see recent history of civil rights being eroded.
