Saudi Women: Some Good News

From the February 2004 issue of World Press Review:

The female literacy rate is 70%.
70% of all bank accounts are held by women.
40% of all private wealth is in the hands of women.
55% of all college graduates are women.
25% of businesses are owned by women.

There is, of course, plenty of bad news, as well, but you probably know most of it. Still, give credit for people who achieve despite the odds.
