Azam Taleghani (Template:Langx; 1943 – 30 October 2019) was an Iranian politician and journalist who was the head of the Society of Islamic Revolution Women of Iran,[1] editor of Payam-e-Hajar weekly, and a member of the Iranian parliament.[2]
Early life
Born in Iran, Taleghani was the daughter of Ayatollah Mahmoud Taleghani. She served time in prison during the Pahlavi regime.[3] After the Iranian Revolution she was a member of the Iranian parliament, founded "Jame'e Zanan Mosalman" (Society of Muslim women), and published Payam e Hajar Weekly, an Islamic journal about women and women's rights.[2] In 2003 she protested against the death of Zahra Kazemi.[1][4] Both in 2001 and 2009, Taleghani submitted her candidacy for Iran's presidential elections, but, like all women's candidacies, her candidacy was rejected by Iran's Guardian Council.[5][6]
Her political ideals espoused a "progressive brand of revolutionary Islamism."[7]
