Patriotyzm jako walka z ignorancją. Refleksje o edukacji irańskich kobiet w pismach Sadiqe Doulatabadi

This article is devoted to Sadiqe Doulatabadi (1882–1961), one of the first Iranian feminists, activists and journalists of the post-Constitutional era. From the very beginning of her activity, Doulatabadi focused on women’s education, which she considered a patriotic obligation and a necessary condition for the country’s develop-ment. She believed that it is important that women regain a lost sense of responsibility for the country’s prosperity and contribute to its welfare. Based on source material (writings, articles and speeches delivered between 1923–1945), this article analyses Sadiqe Doulatabadi’s views on the relationship between patriotism and the need for women’s education.
