Will Saudi Women Get To Drive One Day?

If you think driving is a leisurely and enjoyable thing to do and if you are a woman, then Saudi Arabia is not a place for you because apparently, women cannot be given a car key to drive. 

Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world to ban women - both Saudi and foreign - from driving.  And it's not like you can just hail a taxi or hop on a bus fairly easily in that Kingdom.  Women normally spend about 2/3 of their income on hiring drivers.   Insane isn't it?

Authorities detained a Saudi woman on Saturday after she launched a campaign against the driving ban for women in the ultraconservative kingdom and posted a video of herself behind the wheel on Facebook and YouTube to encourage others to copy her. (See the news report here).

I sincerely hope she can bring about a revolution.
