"On September 13, 2022, a young Iranian student, Mahsa Amini, was arrested by the morality police in Tehran. Her only crime was that she wasn't properly wearing the headscarf required for women by the Islamic Republic. At the police station, she was beaten so badly she had to be taken to the hospital, where she fell into a deep coma. She died three days later. A wave of protests soon spread through the whole country, and crowds adopted the slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom"-words that have been chanted aroundthe world during solidarity rallies. In order to tell the story of this major revolution happening in her homeland, Marjane Satrapi has gathered together an array of journalists, activists, academics, artists, and writers from around the world to create this powerful collection of full-color, graphic-novel-style essays and perspectives that bear witness. Woman, Life, Freedom demonstrates that this is not an unexpected movement, but a major uprising in a long history of women who have wanted to affirm their rights. It will continue"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Review of the Seven Stories Press paperback (March 19, 2024) translated by Una Dimitrijevic from the French language original "Femme vie liberté" (November 14, 2023).
Marjane Satrapi is primarily known for her biographical graphic novel The Complete Persepolis (2000-2003) and its later film adaptation. She has worked on later graphic novels such as Chicken with Plums (2004), but has devoted herself more to film production and directing in recent years. The murder of Mahsa Amini by the Iranian regime provoked her to return to graphic art in a limited fashion (she draws some panels in this book) but mainly to act as coordinator for its overall writing and illustrating.
Several editors and writers along with a few dozen illustrators (many of them like Satrapi being Iranian ex-pats) produce 25 separate stories / vignettes / editorials / discussions about the Mahsa Amini murder and the resulting rise of the "Woman Life Freedom" movement of resistance and protest in Iran which operates under the perilous conditions of the repressive authoritarian regime. The stories here are broken into 3 sections: The Events. A Bit of History and An Iron Regime...A People Resisting.

"An Iron Regime ... A People Resisting." Image sourced from an article at the English language edition of Le Monde. Behind a paywall, but the beginning of the article is viewable.
The overall impression is an overwhelming one of the courage of the people especially the women, who quietly work towards a future liberation of Iran from its repression. One comment predicts that although the regime has survived 45 years, it will not be around for the 50th.
