Iran Awakening: A Memoir of Revolution and Hope by Shirin Ebadi, first published in 2003 and later released in a special edition by The Easton Press, is a powerful memoir by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Iranian human rights lawyer and activist.
In the book, Ebadi recounts her journey from being one of Iran’s first female judges before the 1979 Islamic Revolution to becoming a prominent defender of women’s and children’s rights under a repressive regime. She offers a firsthand account of life under authoritarian rule, the challenges of standing up for justice, and her personal transformation into a global voice for democracy and human rights.
The Easton Press edition is known for its high-quality craftsmanship, typically featuring genuine leather binding, gilt-edged pages, and archival-quality paper — aimed at collectors and readers who appreciate finely bound books.
