"After the revolution in 1979 women were banned from performing in public unless they were granted special permission or followed official guidelines. But many kept singing, as shown by this powerful new set compiled by Deeyah, the award-winning film-maker who was born to Afghan-Pakistani parents in Norway, where she was forced to end her musical career after threats from local Muslims. Some of these songs come from exiles".

"Iran is one of the great treasure houses of non-Western classical music and Iranian Woman picks the lock to one of its treasure chests. This thirteen-track compilation draws mainly on its art or tradition-based music inspirations. Like probably all art music traditions at present, Iranian or Persian is one in transition and this anthology communicates and acptures that spirit sensitively and well ... Compiler Deeyah's anthology will sit worthily on anyone's shelf or playlist next to the extraordinary Simon Broughton-compiled Rough Guide to [the Music of] Iran. A banquet".
