    Younger spirit

    * She emobies the spirit of the younger Iranian generation, a bi-cultural upbringing and success in a competitive field. She has shown the entire world that Iranian women, through their hard work, are active, modern, educated, and successful.

    Defied simplicity

    * She has kept the spotlight on Iran throughout her career. In doing so, she has not only sought to increase the West's dialogue with Iran (e.g. Khatami interview), but also portrayed Iran (i) in a positive light and (ii) when not totally positive, at least a sophisticated light that defies simplistic U.S. coverage. The Khatami interview was a watershed event.

    Courageous

    * She openly talks about her Iranian heritage; she is known all over the world; she is courageous and modest, and she was instrumental in opening a dialogue between the U.S. and Iran.
