Reading Lolita In Tehran

I can't imagine waking up in a country where there is no freedom for women. In Reading Lolita In Tehran, Nafisi shows how the women in her "book club" were in exile in their own home involuntarily. When Nafisi went through a day in the life of one of the girls in the group (Sanaz-pg26), I was shocked. These women were forced to sit on the back of buses and be so fearful for their lives. The novel showed an internal exile because the women can't express their true identities and really accomplish whatever they want to put their minds to.
