Laleh Bakhtiar Challenges Patriarchy in Islamic Teachings

Laleh Bakhtiar is a certified counselor with more than 30 years of experience as well as a retired lecturer from the University of Chicago. However, what truly makes her a groundbreaker is that she is the first woman to have translated the Holy Qur’an into English. Laleh talks to Sara Jamshidi on the Peacemindedly podcast on how she dealt with growing criticism while translating Islam’s holy book.
