Saudi Arabia now allows its women to drive

Saudi Arabia announced last week that it would allow women to drive, ending a longstanding policy that has become a global symbol of the oppression of women in the ultraconservative kingdom. This is good news although decades too late. The ability to travel with no or fewer restrictions is a hallmark of freedom that everyone has a right to. I know this is not an accurate photo, but if it were, I would not want to be a pedestrian!
