Hello! I am a law student delving into feminist economics and theory, interested in exploring the topic from an international perspective and incorporating more content into Wikipedia that reflects recent developments in the field.

Wikipedia article I plan to edit

I am currently improving the new article Women's Education in Iran, which I plan to merge with the existing Iranian gender restrictions on education.

I am interested in updating this page as recent Iranian elections changed the state of female participation in the country. Yet currently little context and details on what restrictions on education are imposed for women and how it has affected their participation in society is included. I think it is a timely and important article to revise, and have compiled these references for inclusion:
