Woman, life, freedom / Marjane Satrapi with Joann Sfar, Mana Neyestani, Pascal Rabaté, Patricia Bolaños, Paco Roca, Shabnam Adiban, Lewis Trondheim, Winshluss, and many more ; English translation by Una Dimitrijevic ; English edition lettering, Georgia Rucker.
"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 around the 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."-- Provided by publisher.
"On September 16th 2022, in Iran, Mahsa Amini died after being beaten by the morality police for not wearing her veil in accordance with Iranian law. Her killing prompted a wave of protests all across the country, and grew into a woman's movement without precedent. Marjane Satrapi gathered together three specialists -- political scientist Farid Vahid, acclaimed journalist Jean-Pierre Perrin, and historian Abbas Milani -- together with sixteen of the most brilliant comic artists to tell the story of these events and their significance for Iran and for us all."-- Page 4 of cover.
