I often think of how life has been for past and present generations of women, all dependant on where and to whom you are born. Each time I am thankful for my life and each time I think this, I think of women around the world who in one way or another are repressed, my heart aches for you and I dream that those shackles are released. Unfortunately for too many, this will stay as a dream for me and a nightmare for them.

Here is a much higher-quality version of this image. Per here:

On March 8, 1979, Iranian women’s celebrations of International Women’s Day turned into protests against a new decree by Khomeini about mandatory veiling. (Hengameh Golestan)

She took these pictures that day too.
