Blurb on final paper

Writing this paper has been so exciting. It offered such a different viewpoint than every piece of literature we have read! From the very beginning, we have read about the roles of women being completely inferior to that of men, and how they were required to be faithful or basically face death, to be blunt. This book is inspiring. There is a battle between the more conservative viewpoint and the more liberal, modern viewpoint, and it seemed like the people who were holding the more liberal viewpoint were trying to convince the conservatives to "get with the times."

Marjane Satrapi had a very sexual sense of humor, and it definitely came out in this book. Many things from my first paper about women and the value of their faithfulness in society. The whole point of this book was basically refuting tradition and sharing tips and stories about how to get around staying a virgin, keeping men in line, and so on. I laughed out loud a few times when I was readng it.

So my paper is going to include some research about the Iranian women's movement, since Satrapi is from Iran and this text is based in that country. I want to incorporate what is going on over there and how that pertains to Embroideries.

I am looking forward to being done with this paper.....although I think as soon as I finish it, I am going to want to fix it. (Christmas Break expedition? hehe)
