I got to do some illustration’s for ArabAd’s July issue cover story: Women shaping the economy. Very interesting report, highly recommended! Here are the illustrations for you to check out while I’m stuck in bed for the next 3 days with ‘acute amygdalitis’…







And last but not least, here’s Neneh Cherry’s ‘Woman’. Enjoy

Great comic, It blends the humour into the issue well. Keep on keeping on!

I love it
Great post Maya, it definitely hits the nerve of the accepted sexism in Lebanon (and middle east)
I always found it sad, pathetic, and degrading when i read job ads that include gender, age preference, and looks preferences! (eg: we’re looking for a female receptionist between the age of 18 – 28…) that’s so sexist! I would hate my sister to work in such environment!
“we’ll have to create a new “sub-top-manager position just for you” hehehehe… still managed to add humour! i love it

Oh, I bought that magazine last night and saw that there is a “woman shaping the economy” article but I didn’t get a chance to read it yet. I skipped through the comics in the post so I can see them in the magazine later today!
I hope you feel better maya!

I’m lucky to work in communication arts where there are plenty of dynamic, professional women in the positions they deserve. I guess it’s an exception.
It’s my experience that most women handle stress in the workplace better than men, and can handle more tasks at a time.
I like the panic button on that desk

Hello Maya,
I had the chance last week to learn about your blog, and been enjoying
the quite interesting “stories” : )
Looking forward to your new (signed) book! Until then, hope you
get well soon.

Hey Maya!
I work in an advertising company where most junior staff are women and all senior staff are men – it would be interesting to see how the interpersonal dynamics would change if the situation were the other way around
Loved the “weekly grooming” bit!

Hey we saw this together while I was at your place!
I’m glad I didn’t catch your amygdalitis
Get well soon! xoxo
