The FIRST cabinet in Iran’s history that submitted a bill to the Majles for female franchise was Dr. Mossadegh’s cabinet. In 1952, Dr. Mossadegh's cabinet submitted a layeheh [cabinet bill] to the Majles granting Iranian women the right to vote. It was strongly opposed by the Speaker of Majles, Ayatollah Kashani. Mossadegh’s bill for women’s vote was one of the reasons for the difference between Ayatollah Kashani and Dr. Mossadegh. From late 1952, Ayatollah Kashani got closer to the Shah.
On several occasions, other Majles deputies had proposed a bill to grant women the right to vote. But until 1952, no CABINET has submitted [layeheh] cabinet bill on this issue.

“Kashani's opposition to Mosaddeq came into the open by mid-1953 once the latter issued a referendum to dissolve Parliament, drafted an electoral bill enfranchising women, tended to favor state enterprises over the bazaar, refused to ban alcohol, and declined amnesty to assassins from the Fedayan-e Islam.”

by فغان on Fri Nov 27, 2009 12:54 PM PSTFarah Rusta's kindness to me is an old news item to everybody; she is well aware of my shortcomings in English. however, his/her writing in English is an obligatory task. You see, the same people who recently sent her to "Martha Stewart School For Blog Mannerism", want her to be a ubiquitous commentator. I do enjoy reading her/his comments only to be awed by the amount of prejudice in them; every single of them.
I, personally, have no problem with a "constitutional monarchy", where the king is nothing more than a symbol of constitutional democracy and sacred sovereignty; nothing more, nothing less. The Pahlavis did never fit nor did they try to fit that role. Shah became the law of the land instead of guardian of the law. His family, the whole shebang of the Pahlavis benefited from a corrupt Royal court; His sister Ashraf Pahlavi, Reza jan's dear aunt, for instance had her grip on the judicial system which helped her son "Shahram" to become one of the wealthiest people during that period. That's why I consider "Reza" as a bubble boy who has never criticized his father for His dictatorship, corruption and mismanagement. The Pahlavis are a bunch of wounded wolves who have big score to settle with a huge majority of us.
It's a good thing to know that Farah considers the nation of Iran unworthy of that kind of monarchy.

Dear Red Wine!
by Farah Rusta on Fri Nov 27, 2009 10:08 AM PSTFirst, apologies for writing in English in my response to your Persian comments. This is for the benefit of our mutual 'friend' Faghan (also known as Afghan among his royalist friends) who is more comfortable with the tongue of his adopted country particularly after a couple of shots of Gin and T.
To be honest with you, and this may come as a surpirse to you, I am not so very keen to see the monarchy returned to Iran either. Iranians are not a nation worthy of such honor. Througout their two and half millennia of monarchical rule, they have never held their kings in the high esteem that other Eastern nations such as Japan, for example have done. Since the earliest days of our "glorious history" we have cheated, betrayed or killed our kings: from Darius to Yazdegerd, from Karim Khan to Agha Mohammad Khan (even though he was a eunuch, his facial contours resembled one of his great grandsons we know only too well!!) and recently the two Pahlavi kings. And there are many other examples. We have been an nation of traitors and quislings. Now, do I really want to see Pahlavi the third to follow the same path that his ancesters went through? Never! Besides, I can't imagine if he wants it either. The only reason that I take a stand against likes of Mr Kazemzadeh is that they do precisely what they accuse other of doing: distortion of historic facts.
Let me reassure you that monrchy is most unlikely to return to Iran. We have had enough monarchs who interpret the laws in their own way and call it "emergency necessities" (re: 1952-53 premiership). But then again, who could imagine that one day Iran would be ruled by the clergy - no thanks to the grand treachery of Jebhe Melli.
With respect,
FR

by Kaveh_Ahangar on Wed Nov 25, 2009 07:16 PM PSTThank you so much for your posts about Dr. Mossadegh's position towards the Bahais and women's right to vote.
I guess if one is a staunch supporter of an incapable king who handed the whole country to a bunch of lowly Islamists, and worked hand in hand with them to bring down the only democratically elected prime minister of this country, he or she has to resort to all sorts of nonsense targeting late Drs. Mossadegh and Fatemi, and all the elite and "nokhbegaan". As Iraj says:

Compared to what is written about the Pahlavi kings on this site, from allegations of financial corruptions to charges of sexual perversion, I am still behaving like an angel. MK has nothing to offer in defence of Mossadegh when it comes to the charges of Mossadegh's complicity with the darkest forces of reaction, meaning the clregy and their supporters in his own cabinet. Instead he hides behind some misused and irrelevant proverbs that if anything are very much applicable to himself. If what I allege is nonsense then why do you feel compelled to offer a rebuttal?

by Masoud Kazemzadeh on Wed Nov 25, 2009 02:21 PM PSTDear hamfekr,
Since 1953, the two regimes that have ruled Iran (despotically and brutally) have tried very hard to spread lies about Dr. Mossadegh. Both the monarchy and fundamentalist regimes have had huuuuuuuuuge amount of money and both devoted huge sums for propaganda. They have failed. In the past 60 or so years, those Iranians who love Iran, freedom, democracy, and human rights have upheld the memory of Dr. Mossadegh’s brave struggles for freedom and democracy.
I am not doing much. Just cutting-and-pasting the publications of some of the top scholars of Iran. These are very small steps to share the historical scholarship with a wider audience.
Best,
MK
==============================
Ali jaan,
Actually earlier, before he became prime minister, in 1949 Dr. Mossadegh introduced a bill that would give women the vote. Parvin Paidar writes:
"In 1949, Mossaddeq attempted to draft an electoral bill and proposed to include female enfranchisement on the grounds that the constitution specified equality of all citizens before the law."
Parvin Paidar, Women and the Political Process in Twentieth-Century Iran (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995), p. 132.
The 1952 cabinet bill is well-known. Here is a reference to it:
Fakhreddin Azimi, The Quest for Democracy in Iran (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2008), p. 173.
//www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/AZIQUE.html
//books.google.com/books?id=Gt-Gwo1w_AkC&pg=PT191&lpg=PT191&dq=iran+female+franchise+mosaddeq&source=bl&ots=Jkt2FPzFsI&sig=Uihjpvl2R6e3V1ZpifWguCHkV80&hl=en&ei=MqUNS__2Jc29lAeB_omeBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CCQQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=&f=false
Women’s vote was not the only progressive issue Dr. Mossadegh pursued. The first land reform was also pursued by Dr. Mossadegh.
Best,
Masoud
=======================================
FR,
Your attitude is like those in a cult. No amount of scholarship is able to change YOUR dogma. You repeat the same nonsense again and again and again. Presenting evidence to you is like presenting evidence to the members of the Flat Earth Society. Your attitude to those who present evidence contrary to your dogma is that of insults. You have done this to eminent scholars such as professors Katouzian and Abrahamian, as well as the late Dr. Amini.
Using vulgarities and insults instead of evidence is like throwing mud at diamonds. That is what you do. Mud is mud, and diamond remains a diamond.
Americans have a saying, "you can bring a horse to water, but you cannot make the horse to drink the water." That is all I can do: bring water.
MK
==================================
Red Wine jaan,
If you read these history lessons carefully, you will find out that they present what the fundamentalist regime does NOT want the people to know.
What I have posted is not new. Top scholars have published these many years ago. It comes as surprise because the fundamentalist regime does not want the reactionary nature of their politics and their close cooperation with the Shah and the role in the 1953 coup be known.
I am simply making available to a wider audience what scholars have already published.
Best,
MK

The same Mossadegh who freed Razm Ara's assasin?
by Farah Rusta on Wed Nov 25, 2009 02:00 PM PSTMr Kazemzadeh I am sorry that I have to give you such agony by reminding the readers of the double (if not triple) standards of your idol Mossadegh, but the trouble with you and almost all of your so called "scholarly" sources whom you keep quoting is that you people have not even examined the works of such authors as Mirfertros, Matini, Foad Rouhani or Movahed. Your style is devoid of academic objectivity and integrity. Ebrahamian's work or that of another darling of JM junkies, Kinzer, are not even considered worthy of historic value by Iranian-based researchers and scholars as these "western" authors have had no access to the real players in the field. There are still many people alive and living who not only lived in those heady days but formed and shaped the event. .
In his interview with talash journal, Mirfetros clearly shows the duplicitous nature of Mossadegh who was prepared to do dealing and wheeling with ALL sides (clergy, communists, monarchists) just to remain in power. His "interpretation" of the constitution, and not the very text of the of the constitution was the basis of his moves. . If it was good for him to go against the constitution because he interpreted it the way that suited him, then why was it bad for the Shah to do the same? You and the people much bigger than you have nothing to answer to these damning allegations except repeating your meaningless mantras.
It is interesting that you chose one of the less significant parts of Mirfetros's interview and remained silent about the rest. Is your Mossadegh who supposed to have drafted a bill in support of women's right the same Mossadegh who:
The list can continue but perhaps at a later time. I don't know what you may call such a person but in most cultures, he is called a Charlatan.
ps - I told you we will meet again and I give you further opportunities to come up with your mumbo jumbo :)
FR
Massoud jaan
by Ali P. on Wed Nov 25, 2009 06:01 AM PSTWith all due respect, it seems a little odd, don't you think?
Amid all the problems Dr. Mossadegh had with the Shah and the British,
and the Islamists and the communists, and the Army, and the economy, and
when he is issuing a referendum to dissolve Parliament- a historic and
unprecedented and controversial and arguably unconstitutional move to dissolve one branch
of government by another- why would he draft a bill for women's right? ( Kam gereftaaree daasht?)
From what we read about the era, women's enfranchising, was just not a priority to the major political players of the time, including Dr. Mossadegh.
Another citation would deeply be appreciated.
