Image Credits: All images are from Iranian magazine clippings or government promotional images which are now in the public domain. Some of the images were enhanced by adjusting the saturation and color balance.
As you can see from the above images, one of a few places where the government excelled in was public relations. It simply deemphasized women wearing traditional clothing (the chador) on the cover of magazines and Television.
