This morning as I drove to school, I listened to a long NPR story about women in Saudi Arabia. Is change coming?
King Abdullah announced this week that women would be permitted to vote...in 2015? And there is a good chance that he will reduce the sentence of a woman who was sentenced to ten lashes with a whip for driving a car.
More than half of Saudi college students are women, but they can neither drive nor vote.
As I looked at these earrings, I saw question marks.
Why do fundamentalist religions choose to subjugate women?
What do these educated women teach their sons?
Lashes? Really?
Is change coming?
When?

I read about that. How ironic that they are allowed to vote, but have to have their husbands drive them to polling stations?
