English instructors will love this book. It is a collection of the author's lectures on the great literary classics. She tries to compare her own emotions and those of her students with the characters in great literature with the day to day oppression women suffer in Iranian culture under hard-line Islamists.

I think she wrote the book more to publicize her class lectures than to emphasize with the unfortunate condition of the women in Iran. I had to drag myself through the book.
