From Miniskirt to Hijab: A Girl in Revolutionary Iran By: Jacqueline Saper [Audiobook]

Author: Jacqueline Saper
Narrated by: Vaneh Assadourian

Jacqueline Saper, named after Jacqueline Kennedy, was born in Tehran to Iranian and British parents. At 18 she witnessed the civil unrest of the 1979 Iranian revolution and continued to live in the Islamic Republic during its most volatile times, including the Iran-Iraq War. In a deeply intimate and personal story, Saper recounts her privileged childhood in prerevolutionary Iran and how she gradually became aware of the paradoxes in her life and community – primarily the disparate religions and cultures.

In 1979 under the Ayatollah regime, Iran became increasingly unfamiliar and hostile to Saper. Seemingly overnight she went from living a carefree life of wearing miniskirts and attending high school to listening to fanatic diatribes, forced to wear the hijab, and hiding in the basement as Iraqi bombs fell over the city. She eventually fled to the United States in 1987 with her husband and children after, in part, witnessing her six-year-old daughter’s indoctrination into radical Islamic politics at school. At the heart of Saper’s story is a harrowing and instructive tale of how extremist ideologies seized a Westernized, affluent country and transformed it into a fundamentalist Islamic society.

Book Description
================
Jacqueline Saper, named after Jacqueline Kennedy, was born in Tehran 
to Iranian and British parents. At 18 she witnessed the civil unrest 
of the 1979 Iranian revolution and continued to live in the Islamic 
Republic during its most volatile times, including the Iran-Iraq War. 
In a deeply intimate and personal story, Saper recounts her privileged 
childhood in prerevolutionary Iran and how she gradually became aware 
of the paradoxes in her life and community - primarily the disparate 
religions and cultures.
In 1979 under the Ayatollah regime, Iran became increasingly unfamiliar 
and hostile to Saper. Seemingly overnight she went from living a carefree 
life of wearing miniskirts and attending high school to listening to 
fanatic diatribes, forced to wear the hijab, and hiding in the basement 
as Iraqi bombs fell over the city. She eventually fled to the United 
States in 1987 with her husband and children after, in part, witnessing 
her six-year-old daughters indoctrination into radical Islamic politics 
at school. At the heart of Sapers story is a harrowing and instructive 
tale of how extremist ideologies seized a Westernized, affluent country 
and transformed it into a fundamentalist Islamic society.
