What if I told you the Iranian revolution was predictable - and the clues were in what women were wearing?
As we approach International Women’s Day, Life Solved welcomes back a past guest, Dr Mahsa Gaffari, a specialist in marketing at the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú, whose research suggests consumption acts as a "crystal ball of society".
In 2023, Dr Gaffari explained how dress codes and shopping choices allow women to subtly subvert state oppression through clothing and consumer choices in Iran.
Two years on, a new wave of mass protests have erupted in the country, making international headlines due to the level of violence. In this episode we unpack the signals that indicated political change was on the horizon.
