A graphic novel shows the reality of being female under the ayatollahs. The graphic novelWomen, Life, Freedom was born in tragedy. In September 2022, 22-year-old Iranian Mahsa Amini was murdered. She was beaten to death by the Iranian morality police, the Gasht-e Ershad (Guidance Patrol), a law enforcement body created to enforce regulations on modest dress (ḥijāb) and chaste behavior (ʿifāf). Her crime? She wore her veil “improperly,” inadvertently revealing loose wisps of hair.

Buenas tardes a todos. Antes que nada, quería expresarles mi profundo agradecimiento por este extraordinario premio que me han concedido. Y ahora, puesto que de eso se trata, hablemos de la humanidad. Entre los que los biólogos denominan animales auténticos, es decir los mamíferos, el hombre es el único que mata a su hembra. Y calificamos ese acto como bestial, siendo así que ninguna otra bestia, fuera de nosotros, lo comete. Eso es la humanidad.

We are joined by an old friend of the Women’s Prize this week on the Bookshelfie podcast: author and activist Elif Shafak. As a shortlisted author in 2022 and a judge in 2016, we were so excited to see which five books Elif picked and we were not disappointed! I was young when I read Rebecca for the first time. I loved the book, but I re-read it recently. And it’s amazing.
