Lastly are Marjane’s parents who encouraged her to think for herself. This was the final ingredient in making Marjane the headstrong person that she appeared to be in the book.
Indecisive people can pass on their responsibilities and “pass the buck,” and advisory people can propose their concepts and lobby for acceptance, but the President can ultimately turn to nobody else. Presidents must make the hard decisions. It is a heavy mantle to bear on those presidential shoulders. It is lonely at the top.

It’s not just that she was a women that impressed me but her outward denial to conform to a world that oppressed her and women all across Europe based on sex. Not many people have the courage to stand up for their beliefs but she did so, knowing that support for her cause was scarce to none.

Through this she was recognized as a tireless worker. In fact many of her co-workers found this aspect of her personality less agreeable and one even went so far as to say his own rights were being violated from the lengths of the meetings.
