I’m not saying it’s an equal society for women but…
Illiteracy among women has been on a decrease since 1970, when it was 54 percent, to the year 2000 when it was 17.30 percent.
Iranian female education went from a 46 percent literacy rate, to 83 percent
According to a UNESCO world survey, at the primary level of enrollment, Iran has the highest female-to-male ratio in the world among sovereign nations, with a girl-to-boy ratio of 1.22: 1.00
According to UNESCO data from 2012, Iran has more female students in engineering fields than any other country in the world.
Women participate more in the workplace (still far from equal). Women’s workforce participation rate went from 9.1 percent in 1996 to 14 percent in 2004 to 31.9 in 2009.
I personally think the US and Iran have more alignment than the US and Saudi Arabia. True, the Saudis are trying to modernize but women could drive and vote (even if the vote is a farce) in Iran well before Saudi Arabia. Iran also has a relatively young population which is less opposed to Westernism. Not condoning the authoritarian government. Every time the Iranian people have an uprising I hope they can finally pull it off.
