Women in Iran aren't completely like the American stereotype, they don't hide themselves indoors only attending to family matters or cover up all the time, but in fact somewhat opposite. Women in Iran gained a lot of power in subjects referring from political matters to public rights like their personal education and profession (Helen Chapin Metz). But Iran wasn't always as free or a place as it is now for women. There was once a point where they weren't allowed out of their house and for the few exceptions that they were, they needed to be fully covered. They really changed their place in the country during the Islamic Revolution. For example in current times women in Iran hold many positions in law enforcement as well as holding jobs in political office (Donna M. Hughes).
