Sherine Hamdy brings an unusual perspective to this story. A medical anthropologist and professor at the University of California, Irvine, she has spent much of her academic career examining the relationship between culture, society, and the body. Her earlier graphic novel, Lissa, co-created with Coleman Nye and illustrated by Sarula Bao and Caroline Brewer, explored medical anthropology through the lives of two women in Egypt and the United States.
