Ero roccia ora sono montagna

(I Was a Rock Now I am a Mountain. My Fight for Women's Rights in Iran)

Garzanti, February 2024, pp.176

By denouncing the horrors and violence of the Islamic Republic, Nasim has made his own history a model of freedom in Iran and in the world.

Nasim recalls the childhood years, the first climbs, the prohibitions and retaliation suffered by the moral police of Iran, but above all she traces the many new routes he opened in the mountains of Iran, Armenia, Georgia, India and Europe.

 

Nasim was born in Tehran in 1982, on the first day of spring, and grew up under the oppression of the Iranian government. Her name means “breeze”, and of the breeze she shares the indomitable and free spirit. As a rebellious child with a passion for martial arts and a desire to become a boy, she becomes a young woman in love with nature and in constant search of her own identity. After the riots of 2022 and the regime’s grip, she decides to expose herself in the first person by giving voice, through her social net. To do so she had to sacrifice everything she had built in her land, but the strength to believe in herself and in her own possibilities never abandoned her.
