Examples Of Equality In Persepolis

The Fight for Equality
The perceptions of female equality to a society may differ depending on where a woman is from. For instance, Marjane Satrapi trying to figure out who she is as a person in the middle of Iran before and after the Islamic revolution. A difficult time and place to be alive for any resident of the country especially if that someone had was female. In Iran before the revolution women were allowed to wear what they pleased, after the new regime took effect the men of society decided the hijab was suitable. In these oppressed society Satrapi was taught how the small victories may be beneficial to one’s survival through any part of life, with the simple alteration of one’s underclothes that can be simple to change for some but a victory for others. In Persepolis, Satrapi has her parents to help guide her in her desire for more than the regime
With her mother teaching her the importance to go support other women for their rights, this was all fine until the current regime decides to start shooting up these types of public gatherings. Showing the oppression and greed for power, so much that a society is willing to discriminate against half the human population. While in Iran Satrapi sees, women gunned down at women rights festivals to keep women under the regimes heel. In Persepolis, Stratpi's parents send her to Austria for opportunities that would be denied to her based on being a female during and after the Islamic revolution in the 1980's in Iran. Through the oppression, she experienced, Stratpi's independent nature flourished as she became a figure head for feminism in a post-revolutionary Iran. The fight for women's equality is a thriving issue in today's global society with women being oppressed
