Women in the forefront of Iran upraising

Women in the forefront (of the protests)... Says Azar Nasifi, author of Reading Lolita in Iran on CNN today.

This is noticed also when twittering, many women are very active and well linked with other protesters it seems. Cannot name them here as yet.

Retweat, do not know if confirmed
@IranRiggedElect: Zhila Baniyaghoob (journalist, women's rights activist) has been arrested (via @iranbaan) #iranelection

Do not know where Rafsanjani's daughter is at the moment, it seems she is still in Iran (she and a brother were probably stopped leaving Tehran, according to previous tweats).

Zahra Rahnavard, the wife of Mousavi stepped up today for the people's march 20.6.009.
