Okay, not exactly the neighbourhood, but in the region.
Hats off (or hijabs?) to the Saudi women who made Saturday, October 26 a day of protest and drove themselves around flouting the national law that prohibits women from driving.
Yup, a few-several-dozens (??) (it's not clear how many) courageous ladies (who learned to drive elsewhere) got behind the wheel of a motor vehicle and drove it. In most cases not too far, but still, the very act itself is powerful. This small action day is possibly a revolutionary practice. And it certainly (and obviously) offended religious clerics who claimed women driving is a conspiracy.
Go Saudi women drivers!!
