This is a great story, not just about a woman in Iran, but also an example of getting to one's goals through perseverance, goal setting, dealing with obstacles, becoming a ground breaker and risk taking. Thanks for sharing.

The situation in Iran now is incredible, especially for the women because they know they very much will be killed but still summon enough courage to protest.
