blairfrank's review against another edition
3.0
I was very confused and lost most of the time at the beginning when Satrapi was describing the revolution in Iran. I don't have the proper content knowledge to fully understand the martyrs, takeovers, and rebellions. However, I do feel like I've learned more about the restrictions placed on women and the people in the Middle East. I became increasingly frustrated with the amount of rules applied directly to women and the obvious contradictions between the rules and expectations. I wouldn't label myself a feminist, but I do believe in equality for all persons. The scare tactics used based on clothing alone would clearly derail any independent, free-thinking woman to cower to an extent.
