I have since read the Googoosh book and it is fabulous! What a life though:
She was a child star, main breadwinner for her family, had a brutal (unhinged) step-mother, married at 17 to escape, had her only child, three abortions and two more husbands AND her money stolen by her manager - all before she was 30.
That and more is all pre Iranian Revolution. Post Revolution we have imprisonment and near house arrest for 20 odd years till she eventually escaped from the country.

Nezhat Amiri, Iran’s only female orchestral conductor and her fight to conduct.
Article is from 8 years ago. Sadly I can’t find anything more recent.
Hoping she’s conducted other performances since then.

Alva Noto wasn't a good pairing with my funk, but this funky comp sure is! Collects music from Iranian artists/producers who fled their country following the revolution of 1979, and resulted in the "Tehrangeles" (Tehran + Los Angeles) music scene. This music would be banned in their country for encouraging “vice”, but nonetheless made its way into Iran via retaped cassette tapes.
