Abstract
Socio, economic and political involvement of women as half of the total populace is important to
reinforce society and state. In every sphere of life, women have been found under-represented
one way or the other. The women of Iran are not exempted from this. This paper evaluates
women‟s position in two different periods in the history of Iran, i.e., during the rule of the
Pahlavi Dynasty, and during the period of the post Islamic Republic. The objective of the paper
is, first, to highlight the treatment meted out to women in Iran and shed light on various spheres
of social life while comparing the two periods. Secondly, to examine factors that have affected
the position of women in Iran.
