Hm, I'm just rereading and I'm not done yet, but I'm not sure if that sex scene with Jack Faust defines her journey all that much. It's like most female centric but male written stories a two edged blade, but it has feminist sides to it, imho and be it only by fullfilling the Bechdel rules.

A prospros Bechdel, if you like Persepolis, you might also like Fun home, by Allyson Bechdel, it's also an autobiographic comic book.

Did you see the movie adaption of Persepolis? Marjane Satrapi is made of awesome (and god is her take on Austria sadly accurate).
