The purpose of the article is to analyze the development of female's demand for and access to higher education in Iran from the royal period (1925-1979) until the last election in 2013.

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyze the development of female's demand for and access to higher education in Iran from the royal period (1925-1979) until the last election in 2013. In particular, it focuses on the effects of the Islamic Revolution (1979) and the consequent islamization of the society and universities on Iranian women's educational demand. The aim is to show how this process has affected Iranian young women in an ambiguous and paradoxical way: on the one hand, the resurgence of conservatory and fundamentalist fringes and the reform of the higher education system have been aimed at reinforcing the traditional women's role in an Islamic perspective; on the other,using a sociological framework based on the paradigm shift and path dependency theories, it is shown how Iranian women have been able to take advantages of the new situation overturning the university structure and the Islamic turn of its mission
