In Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, a young girl grows up during the Iranian Revolution and witnesses the rise of a strict Islamic regime. Through her eyes, we see how war, politics, and repression affect everyday life, especially for women. As she grows older, Marjane struggles with identity, freedom, and exile after being sent to Europe for safety. Told through striking black-and-white comics, the memoir explores the personal cost of political upheaval.
