This woman [Mrs. Dabbagh] is one of the people who can show the truth about the role of women in an Islamic society. And this is not just in our Islamic Republic. Rather, this is also the case in the Islamic view, in Islamic logic, and in the Islamic culture. On the one hand, there was this woman’s struggles before the Revolution and the beatings, torture, and imprisonment that she suffered. There was also the effect she had on her cellmates and fellow prisoners. In addition to these, she later went to the battlefields and took part in guerilla activities. Then she went to Paris to serve Imam [Khomeini]. Later she entered the real, tangible field of the Revolution and was actively present in a wide range of activities.
