Chute claims Persepolis as a “feminist graphic narrative” (93) for dealing with the themes of trauma and remembrance, while Miller suggests that “ Persepolis offers a new perspective on familial legacies and feminist generations” (13). Alongside these themes is also that of feminism, which has been thoroughly explored by scholars such as Hillary Chute and Nancy K. Satrapi’s memoir-in-comic-strips details her coming of age and independence while recognising how closely intertwined her history is with that of her country’s – she bears witness on behalf of herself and others to stories of oppression and rebellion hope and revolution fear and despair. In Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi chronicles her journey from adolescence to adulthood amidst the backdrop of the Islamic revolution in Iran.
