COMING TO SAUDI ARABIA: Women-Only Cities. “Saudi Arabia has a problem: The Persian Gulf kingdom has an increasingly educated, increasingly unemployed female population and ultraconservative laws and customs that forbid women from mingling, much less working, with men. The Saudis are fashioning an unusual solution, building an industrial city that will allow only women.”

If I were a Saudi woman, I’d find this appealing, but I think it bodes poorly for the future of Saudi society.
