"Conventional wisdom would have one believe that it is insane to resist this, the mightiest of empires... [but] the greatest form of sanity that anyone can exercise is to resist that force that is trying to repress, oppress, and fight down the human spirit.” ―Mumia Abu-Jamal

Remembering Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026)
“I am the person I am not because of the nice things I did, but because of the mistakes I made, the slaps I got…So do not be scared to rebel if someone oppresses you. I am a rebellious woman and I am proud!”
—Marjane Satrapi, Mills College Commencement Speech (2014)
Beloved Iranian and French graphic novelist, film director, and children's book author MARJANE SATRAPI (1969–2026) was born in Rasht, Iran, raised in Tehran, and spent her adulthood in France. Her highly acclaimed autobiographical graphic novel Persepolis (2004) sold millions of copies and was translated into over 100 languages. Detailing her youth marked by the Iranian Revolution, the Iran-Iraq War, and her immigration to Europe, Persepolis was ranked second by the New York Times in a list of best books from the last three decades, and its film adaptation was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Satrapi’s other comic strips include Embroideries (2005) and Chicken with Plums (2006), which won the prize for Best Album at the 2004 Angoulême Comics Festival. In the 2024 anthology Woman, Life, Freedom, Satrapi wrote of the Iranian protest movement: “When history guides us, nightmares cease to haunt us. We can see all roads converging to lead us toward a promising dawn.”
