Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872-1970) was a prolific, versatile and prominent British philosopher/mathematician who has been active in every major area of philosophy except aesthetics. While simultaneously having been notably prolific in the fields of metaphysics, philosophy of language, ethics and epistemology, Russell came to be widely regarded as one of the 20th century’s foremost logicians to such an extent that his name has become inseparable from any mention of mathematical logic. The principal goal of this present exposition will be the introduction of and
expounding upon the intricate details of Russell’s lifelong logical output, as well as briefly sketching the historical progression and the contextual overview of the then-contemporary logic leading up to Russell’s efforts.

In the modern era, although women's and gender rights movements across the world have gained widespread acceptance in much of the world, they have faced and continue to face a much more uphill struggle in traditionally conservative societies. As this premise holds for much of the Middle Eastern region, Iran is no exception to this general trend. On the contrary, Iran comes forward as a country where each incremental gain made in women's rights had to be fought over with tremendous effort. Emerging as a distinct movement during the early decades of the 20 th century, the women's (and by extension, gender) rights movements in Iran have been continually shaped and reshaped as decades progressed until contemporary times. Particularly, the question of women's place in Iranian society took central stage with the onset of the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Taking the story of nation-building and modernization that the country experienced as a backdrop, this present analysis will be tracing the progression of Iranian Women's rights in its domestic and international contexts; while also striving to determine the numerous ways in which the Revolution, directly and indirectly, impacted the agency of women in relation to state power as well as endeavouring to pinpoint the contemporary consequences of the Revolution from a rights point of view. Research Question: In which aspects the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and its ripple effects have impacted the practice of women's and gender rights in contemporary Iran?
