Tanya
Zion: Choices for Girls, 1996
"The Ideal Jewish Daughter" reflects not only the inclusion
of daughters into the art of the four "sons" but also the confusion
of role models they face. Traditionally, guns and trucks "belonged"
to boys and Barbie dolls to girls, but the artist presents them tongue-in-cheek
as the "bad" and "good" girl. Around the frame we
see the variety of real life options available. Tanya was 16 when she
drew these pictures.
