1001 Days: Memoirs of an Empress

with

Empress Farah Pahlavi

Her Majesty Farah Pahlavi will be participating in a webinar on October 21, 2021, 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, (18:00hrs Central European Time) at Harvard University, The Center for Middle Eastern Studies. Her Majesty addresses an audience at Harvard to launch her memoirs, 1001 Days: Memoirs of an Empress.

Published by Vanishing Pictures Press, 1001 Days by Empress Farah Pahlavi, looks back on her reign over an Iran so modern it is unrecognizable today―written just a few years before the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

“Beautifully written, intelligent and insightful, the memoirs of Farah Diba Pahlavi open a window on the life of one of the great women of our time and offer a unique perspective on the extraordinary country over which she and her husband reigned before darkness fell.” ―Bob Colacello, founding editor Interview magazine

"At the time I wrote my memoir, I had no idea what was to come…" Empress Farah Pahlavi was the first crowned empress of Iran, little did she know she would also be the last. This memoir was written in 1976, at the height of her reign on the glittering peacock throne. The candid words reveal her vision for a better Iran, without any idea of what history would bring―the end of the fairy tale.
