To momo: Just because Saudi women are covered up, forbidden to drive, have to sit in the back of the car, can't leave the house without a male relative, and on and on...doesn't make them property or pets, does it? Remind the Saudis (and Allah/God) that women are people, too. Yes, even the imported Filipino and Indonesian domestic help. To Ben: There are any number of ways to bend statistics -- Saudi Arabia's low population with big money from oil exports will lead to high per capita GDP -- but that female literacy one actually surprises me. Despite that it's higher than I thought, it's still no gem. Congratulations, Saudi Arabia! We're waiting for you here in the 21st century! Ah, our friends the Saudis.

It always was to those outside the Kingdom. As Saudi women are now around 60% of university graduates, perhaps they aren't quite so illiterate. Especially as they tend to be literate in at least two languages. Just sayin'... Suzie’s blog is back up–i.e., reachable by those in Saudi Arabia. It always was to those outside the Kingdom.
