Title

Plastic Job

Subject

This image is included for the second to last panel on the page. Here a witch mentions her need for plastic surgery. It is common in the Jewish community for girls and women to get nose jobs as the Semitic nose does not fit within eurocentric beauty standards. It has always been a discussion in my life whether I or my cousins or my friends, will someday succumb to this surgery. Vanity is survival for women, not a signifier of self-centeredness like the patriarchy likes to project.

Description
