I can’t even imagine what it must feel like to be one of the women on the front line of the protests in Iran- full of fear that if you stay, you might be killed – brutally murdered.  If you go, you would continue to lead a life of misery.  I say misery, because these women are highly educated and yet forced into domesticated servitude and discriminated against.

The internet is teaming with first-hand accounts, photos, videos, tweets, and interpretations of the conflict.  For me, Jezebel has been a good resource because it breaks down the basics and incorporates quotes and stats from all of the major news outlets.
