Why was this brilliant psychiatrist and mother driven to such an act of desperation? On Sunday, January 20, 2002, at 11:00 a.m., human rights activist and author of Rage Against the Veil, Parvin Darabi, will tell this story and talk about how the Koran sets the stage for the oppression of women everywhere.
