Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Women Without Men (Zanan-e bedun-e mardan) is a novella by Shahrnoush Parsipur, first published in 1989. Through interwoven narratives and a layer of Magical Realism, the work candidly portrays the condition of Iranian women and their desire to break free from the societal bonds which constrain them.The tale follows five women from disparate walks of life: Mahdokht, a former schoolteacher overwhelmed by an uncomfortable experience; Faizeh, who seeks independence and a husband; Munis, an old maid whose world is upended by revelations about virginity; Farrokhlaqa, a middle-class housewife disenchanted by marriage; and Zarrinkolah, a cheerful prostitute working in one of Tehran's brothels. These figures converge in a mystical garden in the outskirts of Karaj, where free from the pressures of society, they can reflect on their lives, dreams, and desires.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The book was adapted into a film by Shirin Neshat in 2009. | |

Celebrity Resemblance: Farrokhlaqa reminds Fakhredin of Vivien Leigh, particularly in Gone with the Wind. It's a comparison she embraces and fondly remembers years later. | |
