Saudi Women Fly

Women in Saudi Arabia may not be able to legally drive, but now they can fly. A woman named Hanadi Zakariya Hindi has just become the kingdom's first female pilot after being hired for Prince al-Walid b. Talal's private fleet. The prince said he supports women's right to employment in any field. Attitudes like this are why it is a mistake to brand "the Saudi royal family" as a monolithic enemy.
