Summary: Nazila Fathi was a little girl when the Iranian Revolution took place, and she grew up in the shadows of the upheaval and changes wrought by the new regime. She went on to become an accomplished journalist in her home country writing for a number foreign publications – most notably ‘The New York Times’. In what she describes as her historical memoir, ‘The Lonely War: One Woman's Account of the Struggle for Modern Iran’, Nazila Fathi relates her personal experiences and thoughts of reporting and witnessing events over the course of more than two decades. Now living in the United States and working for the World Bank Group, she reflects in ‘Bookmark’ upon her experiences as an Iranian, a woman and a journalist. She talks of how events in her home country both touched her personally, and also affected people throughout Iranian society. Bookmark explores the creative literary works of World Bank Group staff members. To listen to others episodes of the series, visit: http://www.soundcloud.com/worldbank/sets/bookmark
