    This article discusses issues with the women's inequality in Saudi Arabia. One issue it discusses that I did not take into consideration yet is the domestic abuse women face by their fathers and husbands. This article takes a slightly deeper look into the way the laws against women's rights affect them.

    This article was mind blowing for me. It is a report of the treatment of King Abdullah's daughters. It makes me wonder where they are now. I will try to do further research. It all started with a forced marriage and led to the ongoing torture of 4 daughters.

    This article is about Saudi Arabia announcing women to not join in protest regarding the law banning women from driving. Although there are many leaders trying to change the law, many other leaders want to enforce it. There is a thought that if women want drive they will have interactions with men that they should not.

She also states that there is a discrepancy with women's rights when it comes to what economic class you are in.

    This link is to a video created by a Saudi Arabian man. It is a sarcastic video frequently singing the words "no woman, no drive". In the video a man and his friends sing about women staying in the backseat and not touching the steering wheel. It is sarcastic, the men in the video are for women's rights, particularly the right to drive.

    This is hands down the most helpful article I have read when it comes to trying to get a grasp on the issues Saudi women face. It covers many bases including that of a woman who does not want women's rights to be changed and even goes so far as to wish great punishment on activists. The article includes some information on activists of varying degrees including a teacher, a blogger, a YouTube video maker, and more.

    The following link is a blog entitled Saudi Women Driving. The blog posts about issues regarding the law against women driving in Saudi Arabia. The first blog post currently on the page is about a television interview with a man with extreme views on this law. He went as far as to say that not allowing women to drive is to protect them from the possibility of being raped if their car ever broke down.

    This article focuses mainly on statistics and what is common following King Abdullah reign in regards to women's rights. One point the article makes is the inability for women, even educated women, in Saudi Arabia to find jobs. Of the jobs women do possess a very small percentage is held in political careers.

    In this article, Michelles Obama's fashion choices in Saudi Arabia are discussed. Although it is customary and even against the rules for women to show too much skin, Michelle Obama wore a blue flowing shirt with a jacket on top. She is also choosing not to cover her face and hair. This was a direct fashion political statement made by the first lady.

    Saudi Arabia's University of Qassim held a major conference for women's rights, the largest seen in the Arab world. However, there were no women in attendance or speaking. Although the conference could show a positive outlook for the change in women's rights in Saudi Arabia, the absence of women shows that their views of gender segregation still hold strong.

    Saudi Arabia former leader, King Abdullah, who passed away recently, seemed to be pushing for a slow reform in women's rights. While in power, many small but worthy advances were made for Saudi women. One of the most notable of these advances would be the role of women in the work force growing exponentially.
