Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood and the Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi

BATB score: 6/10 🧕

recommended by Emma Watson aka Hermione Granger - an illustrated comic on an upbringing of Iranian women being 'worth half of men'.

Best as: leisure yet knowledgeable read on Iran 1970s through war, martyrs, and head scarves via an autobiography of a curious and rebellious girl 🙎‍♀️

Best to: know that there's no climax nor key plot twist in this comic - just a series of chronological events

Best for: admiration of the comic illustrations that told a story all on their own #bookstagram

Random thought: the earliest signs of rebel by the oppressed women was to wear lipstick 💄💋 and to show of their wrists under the burqa 🤜🤛
