female cartoonist's work challenges Saudi gender norms

I chose this article, because it corresponds to some of the recent readings. The article explains how an Saudi woman by the name of Hana Hajjar, is publishing somewhat controversial cartoons. The cartoons are about the men in society and how they've put women in oppresive situations. Hajjar drawings are pushing the limits, on what women can draw and advertise publicly. In the article Hajjar is taking part of the so "called" masculine activity, as in drawing cartoons. The article goes to give some insight on her past and how she encourages women to draw.
