Abstract
" 'To speak behind others' backs is the ventilator of the heart...' and in this way we began a long session of ventilation of the heart" (Satrapi). With these words, Marjane Satrapi sets the stage for Embroideries and her intimate insight into the lives of women in an Iranian family, specifically her family. Over tea, these women, young and old, open up and reveal personal stories in an attempt to bond and to discover what it truly is not only to be an Iranian woman but also to be "woman." In this sense, feminist theory found in Simone de Beauvior's "The Second Sex" can be applied to the accounts of the women in the novel to demonstrate how women often depend upon men for their identity.
