ZAN: Iranian Women's Site
ZAN in Farsi means "Woman". Webmistress, Roya, writes: "I hope ZAN can be a stepping stone
towards building a global community free of all prejudices and negative stereotypes, and include
women and men from all over the world, but for now (back to reality) it must have a specific identity.
For Iranian women inside Iran, and Iranian immigrant women living all over the world to interact with
one another without any obstacles is truly a privilege. One, which we have never enjoyed before.
Publishing has always been a man's domain throughout history. Women had to use a man's name in
order to publish their writings, not too long ago. So, for Iranian women to be able to publish their works internationally, is a right
that we must take advantage of. I am forever greatful for the interactivity, creativity,and networking
possibilities of the Internet."
