American comics reflect the distinct sensibilities and experiences of the Jewish American men who played an outsized role in creating them, but what about the contributions of Jewish women? Focusing on the visionary work of seven contemporary female Jewish cartoonists, Tahneer Oksman draws a remarkable connection between innovations in modes of graphic storytelling and the unstable, contradictory, and ambiguous figurations of the Jewish self in the postmodern era.Oksman isolates the dynamic Jewishness that connects each frame in the autobiographical comics of Aline Kominsky Crumb, Vanessa Davis, Miss Lasko-Gross, Lauren Weinstein, Sarah Glidden, Miriam Libicki, and Liana Finck. Rooted in a conception of identity based as much on rebellion as identification and belonging, these artists representations of Jewishness take shape in the spaces between how we see ourselves and how others see us. They experiment with different representations and affiliations without forgetting that identity ties the self to others. Stemming from Kominsky Crumbs iconic 1989 comic Nose Job, in which her alter ego refuses to assimilate through cosmetic surgery, Oksmans study is an arresting exploration of invention in the face of the pressure to disappear.

How Come Boys Get to Keep Their Noses Women and Jewish American Identity in Contemporary Graphic Memoirs Gender and Culture Series - image 5 his book is the product of years of conversations and interactions with colleagues and friends, and it was inspired by countless works of scholarship, literature, and art, which I have made every attempt to acknowledge throughout the text.
The project would not have been possible without the continued and unwavering support of Nancy K. Miller, who motivated me to write about what I loved and offered her enthusiasm, encouragement, and incisive critique at every step. There are no suitable words to express my gratitude. Hillary Chute provided me with invaluable guidance, mentoring, and friendship and enthusiastically told me from the beginning that if I wrote the book she would read it. I am thankful to her for paving the way. My agent, Cecelia Cancellaro, believed in this project, helped me shape it, and found it a home. I am delighted to be part of the Gender and Culture series at Columbia University Press and thankful to its editors, Nancy and Victoria Rosner. Also at CUP, thanks especially to Jennifer Crewe, Lisa Hamm, Susan Pensak, and Kathryn Schell for their careful and discerning input, insights, and attention to detail.
Many other colleagues and friends were patient enough to read through versions of my chapters, help me work out my ideas from the early to late stages of writing, or just provide me with a precious support network. In addition to two anonymous readers at CUP who gave me indispensable comments, I am thankful to Laurel Harris, Seamus OMalley, and Yevgenia Traps for feedback on various chapters. Magda Maczynska and Jennifer Mitchell gave me last-minute advice on the introduction. Nancy read through the whole manuscript and provided her usual unparalleled feedback, and Hillary, Wayne Koestenbaum, and Sondra Perl also read the full manuscript in its early stages and provided indispensible comments that helped shape it.
A number of cartoonists fielded my questions and offered me insights that have enriched the way I read and write about comics. I am thankful for inspiring conversations with Gabrielle Bell, Vanessa Davis, Sarah Glidden, Miriam Katin, Keren Katz, Miss Lasko-Gross, Miriam Libicki, Maurice Oksman, Anya Ulinich, and Lauren Weinstein. Liana Fincks way of seeing the world has transformed mine, and I delight in our new friendship.
