The book explores a pivotal event in 1905 when Iranian women were sold or captured, igniting a national outcry. Following the establishment of the new parliament in 1906, relatives of the victims sought justice, prompting a societal examination of women's rights and the implications of such violence. Najmabadi delves into the reasons behind the incident's profound impact on Iranian society, highlighting themes of gender, power, and the quest for accountability in a rapidly changing political landscape.
