The 3rd is called "Silenced" which covers the story of women’s movement and the change in their apparel since 1979. This book contains the new rules and laws that were passed to limit women in the way they appear in society and some comparisons of how everything took a hard shift in less than 50 years.
"The Colorful Dissenters"
2021 This is a small comic zine sharing a true story that happened in 1929 in Iran. These 6 women tried to break the taboo of wearing colorful clothing by switching their black hijabs to different ones. This was a revolutionary act that was out of the ordinary for the people of the time. However this taboo was broken gradually over the years. It has a great resemblance to how women of today are fighting to make a change.
