Marjane Satrapi


I've recently finished reading Marjane Satrapi's Embroideries, a graphic novel which depicts the after-dinner talk of a group of Iranian women, and in the process gives the reader a comprehensive and at the same time humorous introduction to Iranian gender politics.

Very much worth looking at, as are Satrapi's earlier graphical works, Persepolis I: The Story of a Childhood and Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return.
