Dr. Parvin Darabi (born 1941; Tehran[citation needed]) is an Iranian born American activist and writer.
She studied at Calif. State University Northridge, University of Southern California and Pepperdine University, and California Coast University. Parvin worked as an electronic systems engineer, program manager, company president, and engineering consultant until 1994. From 1985-1990 she owned and operated her own Company PT enterprises, in Mountain View, California where they developed the most sensitive Radar Detector presently on the German Naval Vessels active in NATO.
Her elder sister, Homa Darabi, committed suicide in 1994 by burning herself in a public square in Iran to protest against the Iranian regime. Since then, Parvin has become an activist, writing the book Rage Against the Veil: The Courageous Life and Death of an Islamic Dissident and speaking out on many occasions against Iran's government and the religion of Islam as whole.
