Happy 79th Birthday Saudi Arabia!


Mona Eltahawy
's latest blog post reminded me that it's Saudi Arabia's 79th birthday. Eltahawy's writing is compelling enough so I won't take the wind out of her sails, but a pressing question to raise here: What have you achieved since your inception, ya Saudi Arabia?

"Saudi women cannot vote, cannot drive, cannot be treated in a hospital or travel without the written permission of a male guardian, cannot study the same things men do and are barred from certain professions."
