Before there was Madonna or Beyoncé, there was Googoosh. For the first time, one of the world’s biggest pop stars of the 20th century tells her remarkable story in her new memoir, "Googoosh: A Sinful Voice”—her rise to fame in pre-revolution Iran, her arrest and imprisonment, her twenty-year exile, and finally, her triumphant return to the global stage.

Born Faegheh Atashin in 1950, Googoosh is Iran’s first and biggest popstar. She lives in Los Angeles.

In this lyrical and moving memoir, she takes us through her difficult upbringing in Iran’s tumultuous 1950s and ’60s to her stardom in the ’70s—and what it was like to reach the peak of her career during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Seemingly overnight, she went from being on magazine covers, at film premieres and fashion shows, and constantly on the radio, to targeted by religious clerics. What followed is a harrowing tale of oppression, intimidation, and exile.

Now, inspired by the brave women of Iran on the front lines fighting for their freedoms, Googoosh finally tells her full story, and with it, the story of a country once again on the brink.
