With this book, Houri Berberian and Talinn Grigor offer the first history of Armenian women in modern Iran. Foregrounding the work of Armenian women’s organizations, the authors trace minoritarian politics and the shifting relationships among doubly minoritized Armenian female subjects, Iran’s central nodes of power, and the Irano-Armenian patriarchal institutions of church and political parties.

Houri Berberian is professor of history, Meghrouni Family Presidential Chair in Armenian Studies, and director of the Center for Armenian Studies at the University of California, Irvine.

Talinn Grigor is professor of art history in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of California, Davis, where her work focuses on the intersections of art, architecture and modernity in the Middle East and Armenian communities.
