BOSTON (CBS) - Iran is known for being a patriarchal theocracy that oppresses women in what they are allowed to wear, where they are allowed to go, and what they are allowed to do with their lives. But is there an underground feminist movement going on in Iran right now that is fighting against this strict oppression? Author Nina Ansary joins NightSide to talk about the current situation in Iran and what the future could look like.

Originally broadcast November 3rd, 2015.
