Qahera is a 2013 webcomic produced by 22-year-old art student Deena Mohamed. The eponymous protagonist, a hijab-clad superheroine, is an Egyptian superhero. The series, which began as a joke amongst friends but soon became a viral phenomenon, has dealt with issues such as sexual harassment and misogyny, and Islamophobia and Islamist cultural attitudes, all often within the context of the 2012–13 Egyptian protests.[1]
