Azam Taleghani (Persian: اعظم طالقانی; 1943 – 30 October 2019) was an Iranian politician and journalist who was the head of the Society of Islamic Revolution Women of Iran,[2] editor of Payam-e-Hajar weekly, and a member of the Iranian parliament.[3]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Born in Iran, Taleghani was the daughter of Ayatollah Mahmoud Taleghani. She served time in prison during the Pahlavi regime.[4] 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.[3] In 2003 she protested against the death of Zahra Kazemi.[2][5] 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.[6][7]

Her political ideals espoused a "progressive brand of revolutionary Islamism."[8]
