One of the links in our blogroll to the right is Women’s Voices for Change. With so much of Iran in the news, today that site features the life and poetry of Forugh Farrokhzad.
Poet, filmmaker and a national iconoclast until her death in 1967, Forugh Farrokhzād (Persian: فروغ فرخزاد)(also spelled as Forough) was arguably Iran’s most significant female poet of the twentieth century.

The Lynchburg Boot Camp was a great success! More than 20 women turned out to learn how to breathe deeply and do raspberries in preparation for giving a speech. Thanks to Ann Timmons for helping us throw our voices across the room and gain composure before we give a talk, no matter how large or small. Dawn McCoy gave us great tips for running a campaign and finding overlapping circles in our lives that will help us support a campaign effort.
Del. Shannon Valentine of Lynchburg gave us a short stump speech as did Peggy Frank, who is giving Dave Nutter a run for his money in Montgomery County.
We were treated to a stirring song from a member of the Montgomery County delegation and a number of well-done speeches from women working to improve their communities and state.
Well done, Farm Team!
