Masih Alinejad is an Iranian journalist, TV
presenter, women's rights activist and author of memoir, The Wind in My
Hair. As the founder of My
Stealthy Freedom campaign against compulsory hijab in 2014 which is now the
largest civil disobedience campaign in the history of Islamic Republic,
Alinejad is challenging the discriminatory laws against women in Iran. The New
York Times has described Alinejad, as "The woman whose hair frightens Iran."
Born and raised in Iran, Alinejad was a parliamentary journalist in Tehran,
where she exposed corruption among the lawmakers. Later, as a political
columnist for Iranian newspapers, she challenged political figures including
former President Ahmadinejad. In 2009, she was forced to leave Iran for the UK
where she wrote and produced a 57-part radio series and a 2-hour TV documentary
on human rights abuses in the aftermath of the disputed 2009 Iranian
Presidential elections. Today, she hosts Tablet, a satirical weekly show on the
VOA, and runs My Stealthy Freedom campaign.
