Abstract
Many believe that active participation in sport by Iranian women was effectively ended in the aftermath of the Islamic revolution. However, following the severance of women's sport from the men's sporting establishment, an Iranian women's sports movement is now re-emerging with new strength after an initial period of suppression. It incorporates an Islamic influence which gives women's sport in Iran a character unique in the world.
