Nour said she had never faced significant discrimination as a woman in an academic setting. While she was sometimes told that she was wearing too much makeup, or her clothes were too short, she maintained that Iranian women pursuing STEM subjects were typically respected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, S, who was granted anonymity as she awaits visa approval, noted that women in the industry are treated equal to men or even better in some respects. She said that while limitations on their clothing, nails or makeup often could restrict their access to university facilities, women are largely respected in academic settings when pursuing STEM fields.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe amazing point is that science and jobs are the only two things in our country that women are treated better than men in relation to other countries,\u201d S said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Iran, women make up 70% of graduates studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/1223067\/iran-and-saudi-arabia-lead-when-it-comes-to-women-in-science\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to Quartz.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou know the limitations that women have in my country, for their hijab and their clothing,\u201d she said. \u201cBut this is not for science.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"older-generations-witnessed-restrictions-sweep-through-the-country\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older generations witnessed restrictions sweep through the country<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While younger women were raised under severe restrictions, Iranian women who grew up before the Islamic Revolution recall a memory of a different country where they experienced freedom that had long been stripped away. Some women fled after the Iranian Revolution to escape the oppressive restrictions imposed on women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farzaneh Shakib recalls seeing the wave of restrictions sweep across Iran, erasing freedoms that had been a way of life for women who came of age before the Islamic Revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c[It was] \u2018don\u2019t wear this. Talk like this.\u2019 For any movement, you should have some guardian,\u201d Shakib said. \u201cFor example: traveling. If you were married, you had to have permission from your husband. If you were single, you had to have permission from a guardian.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shakib and her husband established an astronomy magazine, hoping to guide younger generations to the field in Iran. Nearly 30 years ago, the family moved to the U.S. so her husband could pursue a graduate degree. Leaving Iran also meant she could raise her future children in a space free from restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think we created something for her that we never had in Iran because we were 18 when the Revolution happened,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m happy we are here. It was so hard sometimes . . . But here, nothing is going to stop you from thinking big, shiny, colorful.

After attending school in Iran, she became a specialist in radiology and later a medical director at a private institute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She recalled widespread instability that stunted social and economic advancements in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(23)00926-1\/fulltext\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">science and technology following the revolution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in part,\u00a0 because of widespread sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I was a child growing up, the country was more stable and there was more improvement [in technology and science] than it is right now,\u201d she recalled. The new Iranian government didn\u2019t have an interest in \u201ctechnological improvements, and also they didn\u2019t show any good relations with the outside world \u2013 that\u2019s how the country I am from has suffered.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some younger generations felt women bore the brunt of the government\u2019s restrictions, while Sooti feels the government\u2019s constraints impact men and women equally, <\/span>as restrictions on alcohol, social gatherings and sometimes clothing still applied to both.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Despite the widespread restrictions, she felt respected in her field. The government\u2019s fear of advancement, she said, was what ultimately restricted her most in her field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decades later, women\u2019s rights have continued to erode.
