Nazila Fathi is the former New York Times correspondent in Tehran and author of The Lonely War: One Woman’s Account of the Struggle for Modern Iran. Drawing on more than a decade of reporting for The New York Times, Nazila paints an insightful portrait of Iranian politics from the 1979 revolution to present day. In her memoir, she describes Iran’s awakening alongside her own, revealing how moderates are steadily retaking the country. IAWF members were invited to an intimate gathering at Bernstein’s offices in New York to have an audience with Nazila Fathi and were further exposed to IAWF NY member, Maryam Ayromlou, who moderated the Q&A portion of the evening. Special thanks to Maryam Ayromlou, Roya Khadjavi Heidari and Jeyran Gharajedaghi for bringing this event to the NY Chapter.

Nazila Fathi is a journalist, translator and commentator on Iran and the author of The Lonely War: One Woman’s Account of the Struggle for Modern Iran. She reported out of Iran for nearly two decades until 2009 when she was forced to leave the country because of government threats against her. She was based in Tehran from 2001 for The New York Times, during a time when she penned over 2,000 articles for the Times. Prior to that, she wrote for the Time Magazine, Agence France Press and the Times. She translated a book, History and Documentation of Human Rights in Iran, by the Noble Peace Prize Laureate, Shirin Ebadi, into English in 2001. She has written for the New York Review of Books, Foreign Policy, Vogue and Harvard Nieman Report and has been a guest speaker on CNN, BBC, CBC and NPR.
