Service95 Recommends Wild Houses by Colin Barrett

Woman, Life, Freedom

Malu Halasa

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Woman, Life, Freedom by Malu Halasa combines artwork with first-person accounts to tell the story of the death of Jina Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran’s Morality Police on 16 September 2022. 

What We Say: “Recounting the death of Jina Mahsa Amini by Iran’s Morality Police on 16 September 2022, Woman, Life, Freedom celebrates the eruption of creative resistance that followed, taking its reader on a tour of artist’s work, weaving in a narration of the Iranian revolution and exploring how censorship is used to silence women in Iran” – Jamie Styles

What They Say: “The expressions of dissent and art from the women’s protests in Iran... Woman, Life, Freedom, a book edited by Malu Halasa, documents the people and art of the struggle...” – Sarah Gilbert
