The title for this graphic-essay collection is the rallying cry for a people’s revolution, sparked in part by the vicious murder of Mahsa Amini on September 16, 2022. Amini was beaten to death by Iran’s so-called Morality Police for wearing her veil improperly. This collection illustrates the current events in Iran, including background on the existing regime, how they came to power and how corrupt these supposedly religious rulers really are. As Western nations fall into authoritarian practices, this shows th strength and power of the people who fight back. A timely lesson and inspiration. From a purely technical/aesthetic standpoint, some of the artwork was not to my taste and the sections that had a cursive-style font were difficult to read. I’d have preferred block lettering throughout.

Da sich dieses Buch aus fragmentarischen Beiträgen vieler Autor*innen und Künstler*innen zusammensetzt, ist es schwierig, dem Gesamtwerk eine umfassende Bewertung überzustülpen. Allein die gesammelten harten Fakten machen das Lesen schon lohnenswert. Und auch wenn die verschiedenen Unterkapitel mich mal mehr und mal leider auch weniger überzeugen konnten, zeigt das Buch doch ein wichtiges und hochaktuelles Mosaik eines Landes und eines Volkes, das nach Freiheit strebt. Frauen! Leben! Freiheit!
