In “Crafting an Educated Housewife in Iran,” the author talks about how the ideal Muslim men are the ideal citizens, they are the ones that are in charge of the nation, while the women are seen as the ones that are in charge of the household. In other words, she discusses how women and men receive an education; however, both genders receive a different education. For example, boys focused on scientific knowledge or known as the second volume, which it had it to do with math, science, poetry and geography. On the other hand, women were going to school to learn how to be a better wife and a better mother. Although, most the young girls would stop going to school at a young age because knowing how to be a good housewife was something “natural” and they didn't need to go to school to know something they are born with. In fact, they also compare the Iranian culture with the European culture and how women re different from each other.
