What's it like for a young girl to come of age in a time of war, oppression, and revolution? We take a deep dive into the graphic memoir Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. On this episode, we are joined by Dr. Lindsey Meeks -- a political communication and gender bias in media professor from the University of Oklahoma. Please listen in as we discuss privilege, rebellion, and being 14 and alone in a country where you don't speak the language.
