Next to the word ‘Relentless’ in the dictionary should be Masih Alinejad’s picture – the Iranian woman who has championed daring campaigns and protests against oppression of women by the Islamic republic of Iran. As a young girl, Masih refused to accept that it is illegal for women to ride bikes, sing in public or swim in the river.
