Doaa Eladl depicts herself at work with male colleagues.

Egyptian Doaa Eladl is a woman in what is still a man’s world: political cartooning. She’s one of just a handful of female political cartoonists in the Middle East.  And her cartoons often comment on that fact.  Eladl publishes her work in an Arabic language newspaper but here’s a chance to hear her — through an interpreter — and see a selection of her cartoons.

    Thank you Carol.  Wonderful piece and wonderful political cartoonist….I like the one about President Obama.  It seems to fit this country too….sadly…I voted for him with “HOPE”….alas….like the cartoon…a lot of nothing is being said…..or done.  My very best wishes to Doaa and her bravery in her choosen profession!

      Patricia, Thanks for your comment. I found Doaa very compelling in person and I really like how she draws and what she draws and the fact that she put herself in one of the cartoons. Hope to be able to feature more female cartoonists in the future. Thanks again for your comments. Best, Carol
