"That means they found out, that these women who are fighting against compulsory hijab, they are actually fighting against the most visible symbol of Islamic Republic of Iran, the most visible symbol of oppression."

Masih Alinejad is the Iranian journalist and activist who founded #MyStealthyFreedom, inviting women in Iran—where the Islamic headscarf (hijab) is mandatory—to post pictures of themselves without it. The project went viral, and is making international headlines today more than ever. Masih's riveting book, The Wind in My Hair: My Fight for Freedom in Modern Iran, is now available, and Armin calls it one of the best books he has ever read. She joined us on the podcast to talk about it, we had SO much fun. (Rest assured, every time Masih and Armin broke out into Persian, Ali insisted on immediate translations.) You'll feel inspired, you'll feel moved, and most importantly, you'll laugh. Check it out.
