Laleh Seddigh

Laleh Seddigh is reflected in a mirror of her racing car before the start of the Arjan rally outside Tehran June 10, 2005. Laleh, the winner of many races in the Islamic republic, became not only the first woman in Iran to race cars against the opposite sex, but also the first woman since the Islamic Revolution to compete against men in any sport.
