Like most Iranians, she is young. And like many Iranian women, she is bold and beautiful…perhaps even mischievous. Is there mischief in that smile? Surely she knows that she’s not supposed to be there, in that scene, at that time. But she’s there anyway, flashing the quick-posed two-fingered purpose of Peace for a waiting camera lens. She is who our Western foreign policy discussions tend to ignore. Click on the image for the rest of the LIFE magazine photo essay on the Iranian election.
