Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis creator, dies at 56, leaving a global cultural legacy

French-Iranian artist Marjane Satrapi, author of the graphic memoir Persepolis, has died at 56. The Élysée Palace praised her as a leading figure in French culture whose work carried a universal message. Satrapi, born in Rasht, Iran, chronicled Tehran during the Islamic Revolution in Persepolis (2000); the film adaptation won Cannes’ Jury Prize in 2007 and earned an Academy Award nomination. She was a vocal critic of Iran’s regime and a supporter of the Women’s rights movement since Mahsa Amini’s 2022 death, leaving a lasting global impact through her art and advocacy.

Rosie O'Donnell Reveals Subtle Facelift After Weight-Loss Shift

Rosie O'Donnell disclosed in a Substack essay that she underwent a lower deep plane facelift in January and shared before-and-after photos. She says losing 50 pounds on the weight‑loss drug Mounjaro prompted a shift in her views on cosmetic surgery, and that the procedure left her looking and feeling more rested without changing who she is—despite little external notice—and it led her to question rigid feminist ideas about aging.

The AI Girlboss Dilemma: Celebrities Urge Women to Embrace ChatGPT

The Cut reports that Reese Witherspoon, Mel Robbins, and Sheryl Sandberg are promoting AI adoption among women, arguing that tools like ChatGPT can boost careers and daily life as work evolves. But backlash and skepticism abound, with critics accusing the campaign of turning feminism into tech-market messaging, raising privacy concerns around Copilot, and noting that AI won’t close the gender gap or stop automation from reshaping jobs—the broader takeaway being a ‘girlboss’ vision of AI that aims to preserve current advantages rather than deliver genuine empowerment.

Loie Hollowell Turns Birth and Bodies Into Cosmic Abstraction

Loie Hollowell Turns Birth and Bodies Into Cosmic Abstraction

Loie Hollowell’s Overview Effect at Pace Gallery London pairs large twin-circle canvases with pastel drawings to explore birth, abortion, pregnancy and breastfeeding through a cosmic, abstract lens inspired by her own experiences. The works fuse bodily imagery with outward, planetary forms—reflecting a developmental arc from her first birth’s diagrammatic representations to a more internal, space-inspired approach. Influences range from Louise Bourgeois and O’Keeffe to home-birth photos and Ina May Gaskin, and Hollowell discusses how shifting reception and female curators have allowed her to speak more openly about abortion and sexuality. The show, timely with Artemis II, situates the body within abstract art and questions market-driven pigeonholing, running at Pace Gallery, London, through May.
