Understanding this quote
The speaker contrasts life before the 1979 revolution with what came afterward. “Allowed” suggests that being an artist, a woman, and fully human had once felt possible, but that these identities later became restricted or denied. The sentence presents creative freedom, gendered freedom, and basic human dignity as connected parts of the same loss.
