Book tip of the week: Iran's Daughters
Editorial team
“Iran’s Daughters” is an impressive work that focuses on the stories of courageous women with Iranian roots in Germany. This book is far more than a collection of portraits – it is a powerful tribute to the strength, freedom and creativity of women who wear their origins with pride while breaking the boundaries of social conventions.
The diversity of the personalities portrayed, including well-known names such as Jasmin Tabatabai, Natalie Amiri and Düzen Tekkal, is what makes the book so lively. Each woman shares her own personal story – characterized by identity, resistance and the pursuit of a self-determined life. The stories are touching, inspiring and at the same time provide insights into the rich culture of Iran and the challenges of juggling two worlds.
The book’s complexity is particularly outstanding. It combines political statements with cultural elements such as poetry, music and recipes, while the interior and lifestyle insights emphasize the individuality and style of the women portrayed. You can feel the passion and commitment of the authors Leyla Piedayesh and Stefanie von Wietersheim and the photographer Neda Rajabi in every page, who not only document the project but also reflect on their own journey.
