Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel, Persepolis, takes important steps toward changing the way Western audiences perceive Iranian women. Satrapi attempts to show the intersection between the lives of some Westerners and her life as an Iranian, who spent some time in the West.

I had to keep saying, "No, it's not like that there." I've been explaining why it's not bad to be Iranian for almost twenty years. How strange is it when it's not something I did or chose to be?" (Satrapi, “Why I Wrote Persepolis” 10). Recognizing both Eastern and Western feminism, Satrapi's novel humanizes the Iranian female perspective in a way that can be easily digested by Western audiences. This novel acts as an autoethnographic text, a term coined by Mary Louise Pratt, in which Persepolis serves as “a text in which people engage in describing themselves in ways that involve representations. that others have made of them” (Pratt 35). This novel, which describes his life to date, demonstrates a mastery of spaces of representation of space, we will draw on a framework suggested by Pollock to read the work of the artists... Pollock refers to three spatial registers: firstly, the places represented by the work (and, in particular, the division between public and private space) ; secondly, the spatial order within the work itself (concerning, for example, the corner...... center of the paper... and in doing so changed Western perception.
