The "hijab protests" or the "Mahsa Amini protests" are often described as the proverbial "fork in the road"--the moment in Iran's post-1979 history in which there is "no going back." Such descriptions remove the uprising from its historical underpinnings and present them as part of a void, yet the preceding protests have helped to bring dissent in Iran to a crescendo. As such, my paper will focus on the "hijab protests" and their connectivity to preceding protests in post-revolutionary Iran, specifically focusing on the Green Uprisings in 2009 as well as the protests in late 2017/early 2018 and the November fuel hike protests in 2019 in order to argue that the "Mahsa Amini protests" are connected to such moments in Iranian history to cascade dissent in Iran.
