Women And Revolution In Iran

Women And Revolution In Iran

Iranian women acquired greater legal social and economic opportunities during the past three decades than in any other period of history yet they participated in large numbers in the 1979 revolution to overthrow Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Ironically they may have lost. more than any other group from the changes introduced and stand to lose even more from changes contemplated by leaders of the current regime. The role of women in the revolution the reasons for their participation and their subsequent fate are documented in this volume. The authors examine the status of women in pre-revolutionary society the ways in which their lives were affected by Islamic principles and the changes that occurred throughout the twentieth century as increasing numbers of women entered the labor force and public life. They then turn to recent political events describing the participation of working-class rural and educated women and activists from both the right and left. Finally they consider the implications of recent government politics aimed at limiting women's activities outside the home and encouraging a return to more traditional roles. | Women And Revolution In Iran

Chemistry Pharmacy and Revolution in France 1777-1809

Chemistry Pharmacy and Revolution in France 1777-1809

This book explores the history of pharmacy in France and its relationship to the discipline of chemistry as it emerged at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It argues that an appreciation of the history of pharmacy is essential to a full understanding of the constitution of modern science in particular the discipline of chemistry. As such it provides a novel interpretation of the chemical revolution (c. 1770-1789) that will no doubt generate much debate on the place of the chemical arts in this story a question that has hitherto lacked sufficient scholarly reflection. Furthermore the book situates this analysis within the broader context of the French Revolution arguing that an intimate and direct link can be drawn between the political upheavals and our vision of the chemical revolution. The story of the chemical revolution has usually been told by focusing on the small group of French chemists who championed Lavoisier's oxygen theory or else his opponents. Such a perspective emphasises competing theories and interpretations of critical experiments but neglects the challenging issue of who could be understood as practising chemistry in the eighteenth century. In contrast this study traces the tradition of pharmacy as a professional pursuit that relied on chemical techniques to prepare medicines and shows how one of the central elements of the chemical revolution was the more or less conscious disassociation of the new chemistry from this ancient chemical art. | Chemistry Pharmacy and Revolution in France 1777-1809

The First World Empire Portugal War and Military Revolution

The First World Empire Portugal War and Military Revolution

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the early modern military history of Portugal and its possessions in Africa the Americas and Asia from the perspective of the military revolution historiographical debate. The existence of a military revolution in the early modern period has been much debated in international historiography and this volume fills a significant gap in its relation to the history of Portugal and its overseas empire. It examines different forms of military change in specifically Portuguese case studies but also adopts a global perspective through the analysis of different contexts and episodes in Africa the Americas and Asia. Contributors explore whether there is evidence of what could be defined as aspects of a military revolution or whether other explanatory models are needed to account for different forms of military change. In this way it offers the reader a variety of perspectives that contribute to the debate over the applicability of the military revolution concept to Portugal and its empire during the early modern period. Broken down into four thematic parts and broad in both chronological and geographical scope the book deepens our understanding of the art of warfare in Portugal and its empire and demonstrates how the military revolution debate can be used to examine military change in a global perspective. This is an essential text for scholars and students of military history military architecture global history Asian history and the history of Iberian empires.
