After a lifetime of my abusive mother urging me to reconsider the motives of my abusive father, I have to conclude his actions stem from allegiance to a system that values the violation of women.

When you choose someone consider whether or not their values match your own. Define the paradigm

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

She went on speaking tours and gave the money she received to the Underground Railroad.

She confronted white suffragists’ racism.
