Join Jacqueline Saper for a lecture called "From Miniskirt to Hijab: A Discussion". Jacqueline Saper’s comfortable childhood and adolescence in Iran ended in 1978 as the country convulsed with a uprisings and social clashes. In 1979, a revolution: the Shah was exiled and Ayatollah Khomeini returned. Iran was now an Islamic theocracy. We’ll hear what life was like before and after the revolution. Presented via Zoom. 

Jacqueline’s family belonged to a Jewish community of slightly more than 100,000 out of a population of 35 million. Her family was forced to adapt to the changes brought by the revolution. In 1987, they left Iran. They now live in Chicago.
