 g new collection of graphic story-telling about the present Iranian revolu
 tion\, using comics to show what would be censored in photos and film in I

 idarity with the Iranian people and in defense of feminism.</p>\n<p>On Sep
 tember 13th 2022\, a young Iranian student\, Mahsa Amini\, was arrested by
  the religious police in Tehran. Her only crime was that she wasn&rsquo\;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 t
 he hospital\, where she fell into a deep coma. She died three days later.<
 /p>\n<p>A wave of protests soon spread through the whole country\, and cro
 wds adopted the slogan &ldquo\;Woman\, Life\, Freedom&rdquo\;&mdash\;words
  that have been chanted around the world during solidarity rallies.</p>\n<
 p>In order to tell the story of this major revolution happening in her hom
 eland\, Marjane Satrapi has gathered together an array of journalists\, ac
 tivists\, academics\, artists\, and writers from around the world to creat
 e this powerful collection of full-color\, graphic-novel-style essays and 
 perspectives that bear</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Woman\, Life\, Freedom demonstrate
 s 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
