Saudi Women Defy Driving Ban

I salute you, ladies. This is a clever way to point out the social injustice. You can't even drive a car wearing a burqa? With your husband beside you? Who decided this? On what theocratic basis?

It strikes me as similar to the lunch counter demonstrations in our country, where Blacks demanded equal treatment in restaurants where they paid the same money as the White patrons. Equal treatment eventually won.
