Iran, Esfahan Women at Mosque, 1984

Iran, Esfahan, Women at Mosque, 1984 - When the Shah of Iran was replaced by the Ayatollah Khomeini, Islamic rule came back in force. Prior to the fall of the Shah, women in Iran were modernizing. When I was there, all women were covered in public in the black capes shown here. In this photograph, veiled women pay their respects in a mosque in Esfahan.
