At times it's a bit juvenile, but therein lies its charm. It is brutally honest and as self-effacing as it is critical of Iranian oppression. Coincidentally, I read Ayaan Hirsi Ali's autobiography just a couple weeks before seeing Persepolis, and there are many similarities between the experiences of Ali and Satrapi. Frankly, I consider both women heroes. They are courageous and strong. It is of paramount importance to listen to their stories so that we may hear through them the voices of millions of women who don't have a voice. In the west, we have no framework to understand the kind of oppression common in countries like Iran. Persepolis builds that framework for us, with its unflinching honesty and accessible characters, delivering messages that everyone can understand.

You might consider leaving the chip on your shoulder and your political radicalism in the other forum. I would ask you to leave your idiotic comments, as well, but I don't think that's possible for you.
