Monday’s Radio 4 Woman’s Hour included a short interview with Parastoo Dokoohaki, author of The Remains of the Day (Persian) about female bloggers in Iran.

Over a quarter of the population regularly use the internet and more of them post their thoughts on blogs than anywhere else. It’s estimate there are about 20,000 female bloggers in Iran.

I’ve clipped the podcast for your listening pleasure: Parastoo Dokoohaki – Radio 4

Update:

There’s more from Parastoo on the BBC webpages talking to Jon Leyne in Tehran: An Iranian Bloggers’ Story.
