Patriotyzm jako walka z ignorancją. Refleksje o edukacji kobiet w pismach Sadiqe Doulatabadi

This article is devoted to Sadiqe Doulatabadi (1882-1961), one of the first Iranian feminists, activists and journalists of the post-Constitutional era. From the very beginning of her activity, Doulatabadi focused on women’s education, which she considered a patriotic obligation and a necessary condition for the country’s development. She believed that it is important that women regain a lost sense of responsibility for the country’s prosperity and contribute to its welfare. Based on source material (writings, articles and speeches delivered between 1923-1945), this article analyses Sadiqe Doulatabadi’s views on the relationship between patriotism and the need for women’s education.
