ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An urgent, groundbreaking and visually stunning new collection of graphic storytelling about the present Iranian revolution, using comics to show what would be censored in photos and film in Iran.

Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis, returns to graphic art with a collaboration of over 20 activists, artists, journalists, and academics working together to depict the historic uprising, in solidarity with the Iranian people and in defense of feminism.

On September 13th, 2022, a young Iranian student, Mahsa Amini, was arrested by the religious 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.

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. And it will continue.

Marjane Satrapi nació en 1969 en Rasht (Irán) y vive en Francia desde 1994. La publicación de Persépolis (2000-2003), una innovadora serie de cómics autobiográficos, le valió un éxito fulgurante en Europa y Estados Unidos. Siguieron dos novelas gráficas más para adultos, Bordados (2003) y Pollo con ciruelas (2004), así como varios libros infantiles. Ha colaborado en revistas y periódicos de todo el mundo, y actualmente se dedica a la dirección cinematográfica, con cinco películas en su haber, entre ellas las adaptaciones de Persépolis (2007) y Pollo con ciruelas (2011). Mujer, Vida, Libertad (2023) es su último proyecto gráfico.
