Paper Summary:

The paper relates that Marjane Satrapi, the author of "Persepolis", tried to release herself from the oppression forced on her by the Islamic regime. The paper discusses how, in her book, Satrapi confronts the complex issues her government wants the people to avoid, while discovering her identity as an Iranian woman. The paper paints a picture of how women were forced to abandon even more of their personal identity than the men.

From the Paper:

"Persepolis is more than a graphic novel of Marjane Satrapi growing up in revolutionary Iran. This story expounds on complex issues of injustice, suffering, and change in a society where freedom to live independently of government invasion is nonexistent. Throughout the novel Marjane dives into, and confronts the complex issues her government wants her and her people to avoid; while discovering her identity as an Iranian woman during the Islamic revolution."
