This past summer, women finally were given the right to drive legally in Saudi Arabia. It was a huge step for progress and a momentous occasion. Saudi Arabia was the last country in the world to allow females to drive. Many of my friends have gotten their drivers licenses, although I haven't gotten mine yet. Word from the king was there would be no harassment of women drivers, and for the most part, the transition has gone smoothly.
Time will tell if that sticks.
