The Evin Prison Bakers' Club by Sepideh Gholian
16 recipes testifying to the sisterhood and solidarity forged in the most notorious prisons in Iran'A fighting woman cannot be imprisoned because her voice is louder than prison wallsThis book is proof.' Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Peace Prize winner
'My heart broke while reading this book, but it also gave me hope. I read this book filled with outrage against the system that has put Sepideh Gholian and so many like her in jail, torturing them, killing them. But I was filled with hope, amazed by and thankful for those like her, telling the story. They are our beloved guardians of truth.' Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran
'It is sometimes hard to believe Sepideh Gholian is still under thirty since she has accomplished so much as a labor journalist and civic activist. So many of us admire her for fearlessly standing up to the dictatorship in Iran… A breathtaking writerly talent. Sepideh is emblematic of a generation of Iranians who refuse to give up in their quest for justice.' Arash Azizi, author of What Iranians Want
