Persepolis: The Graphic Memoir That Hits Like a Revolution
I just reread Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi and had to shout about it. If you’ve ever felt like your rights, your body, your voice were under siege—this is the book that meets you where you are.
Told through bold black-and-white panels, Persepolis follows Satrapi’s life as a rebellious, book-loving girl in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. It’s painful. Funny. Infuriating. Unforgettable.
If The Handmaid’s Tale made you rage and cry, this will too—but with the bonus of real-life courage and a very cool rebellious streak.📖 You belong in this fight. And in this story. 💜 Join me every week for recs that empower, provoke, and connect.
