More than 50 graphic artists and press cartoonists have joined forces to support the fight for women's rights and freedom in Iran, with posters and graphic creations inspired by the posters of the Russian and Cuban revolutions, May 68 and the strong, effective graphic codes specific to Persia.

This publication is a continuation of the support for Iranian women and men in the face of repression, which took place last March on the occasion of International Women's Rights Day. The Beaux-Arts de Paris, the Musée d'Art Moderne, the Palais de Tokyo and the Palais de la Porte Dorée agreed to decorate their façades and interiors with posters from the Iranian demonstrations, generously printed by the Julien Sirjacq studio at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. This commitment is presented in one of the book's chapters.
