Longlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026 The internationally acclaimed masterpiece from one of Iran's most influential writers - a powerful and essential tale of female freedom 'The best feminist novel I know. It's thrilling, beautiful and hilarious' Johanne Lykke Holm
'A courageous, talented woman, and above all, a great writer' Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis Women Without Men traces the interwoven destinies of five women - including a wealthy middle-aged housewife, a sex worker and a schoolteacher - as they arrive by different paths to live together in an abundant garden on the outskirts of Tehran. Drawing on elements of Islamic mysticism and recent Iranian history, this unforgettable novel depicts women escaping the narrow confines of family and society, and imagines their future living in a world without men. Translated from Persian by Faridoun Farrokh
Shahrnush Parsipur (Author) Shahrnush Parsipur was born in Iran in 1946. She began her career as a writer of fiction and producer at Iranian National Television and Radio. She was imprisoned for nearly five years by the Islamist government without being formally charged. Shortly after her release, she published Women Without Men and was arrested and jailed again, this time for her frank and defiant portrayal of women's sexuality. While still banned in Iran, the novel became an underground bestseller there, has been translated into many languages around the world and was longlisted for the International Booker Prize. She was also the author of Touba and the Meaning of Night, among many other books, and lived in exile in Northern California until her death in 2026. Faridoun Farrokh (Translator) Faridoun Farrokh was born and educated in Iran, where he began a teaching career. As an academic, his research has focused on eighteenth-century English literature, contemporary Iranian fiction, as well as literary translation. His English language translation of Shahrnush Parsipur's Women Without Men was longlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026.
