Not as in depth as Persepolis, but if you think of it as a short story instead it's really interesting and very funny at times.

A series of vignettes, almost, about women's lives in Iran, connected by bridging segments of after-dinner tea and conversation with Satrapi's mother, grandmother, and their relatives and friends. The embroideries of the title do NOT have to do with arts and crafts, but rather refer to what some Iranian women do to, um, regain their virginities. (OW!) This book is seemingly lighter than either volume of [book: Persepolis], but there's an underlying weight and seriousness, and Satrapi as usual is great at conveying character and telling stories. I only wish it had been longer.

Pointless. I don't know why she even bothered with this...
