  "textContent": "Marjane Satrapi, best known for her memoir and film _Persepolis_ , has died, aged 56. The death of this much loved Iranian French artist, graphic novelist, filmmaker and activist has been met with widespread celebration of her life—and its dedication to resistance, freedom and humanity. French president Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to “a great artist who transformed an Iranian childhood into a universal fable.\"\n\nSatrapi illustrated the dislocations of revolution, migration, adolescence and return in such a way that her memoir travelled far beyond her home country.\n\nThrough its deceptively simple black-and-white illustrations, _Persepolis_ became globally influential because it offered an intimate account of revolutionary Iran and exile that challenged dominant stereotypes.\n\nFor many readers, Satrapi is still the woman who explained Iran in the simplest, yet most powerful way.\n\nThe post Rest in Power: Marjane Satrapi, Whose Masterpiece ‘Persepolis’ Transformed the World’s Understanding of Iran appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
