You think those girls who chased away an education director from their school grounds will pack up their audacity into their satchels after school is out? feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-g… #Mahsa_Amini #IranProtests2022

You think those schoolgirls chanting “Death to the dictator” do not go home and see the dictator there as well?

Glory and power to the women in Iran who have seized the narrative and become object and subject.
