I recently posted a piece about the role of women's rights and the women's movement in the upcoming Iranian elections. I think this is a good area to explore for feminisitng readers because it's an example of a lively women's movement and also because it's in the middle east, an area where America is currently engaged in two wars. It's also relevent to Obama's efforts in reconciling issues with the muslim world.

Ann Curry of MSNBC just had a GREAT special on Iran (and I rarely ever say this about any report of Iran in US media)  and I really would like to share this video (part 3 of a 6-part report ) with feminsting readers. There is an interview with Nasrin Sotoudeh (a lawyer who defends and represents Iranian feminist activists pro-bono and who also campaigns for the rights of children and women) and an interview with filmmaker Tahmineh Milani.

There are other segments which might be interesting to you as well (including part 4 with a short segment on a transsexual woman and a longer interview with an HIV physician - also a woman)

ps. Jessica's book, Purity Myth, is very relevant to the ideas of modesty in Islam.
