The number of women studying and earning degrees in science and engineering has increased over the past decades. This trend is expected to continue since efforts have been concentrated on increasing the numbers that are being admitted in higher learning institutions.
In Iran the period between 1925 and 1941 saw women become empowered and participate fully in the societal activities. This was triggered by Rezah Shahs mission to introduce modernization and westernization in Iran. Education was one of his main areas of focus and women were enrolled to study just as men did. Until 1906 the government of Iran in the Qajar period did not involve people in policy making. Womens presence in politics and social activities was negligible. There was no provision for women in formal education apart from the Quran teachings. This changed drastically and institutions for the education of girls were introduced it grew to become an essential for women as from 1920 and later (Shojaei Samsu & Asayeseh p. 258). This paper will discuss on the importance of Reza Shahs era to Iranian women. It will illustrate the positive changes brought to the society by modernization. This will be done by comparing womens roles in the past and present. This will show how women have reversed their roles to become influential people in the society just as men are.
