Kuwaiti women making political waves
Check out this article from The New York Times on the most "sought-after constituency" in Kuwait--women.
Women in Kuwait won their right to vote just last year.
Many political analysts expect the entry of women in the political process to redraw the political map and to hold significant sway over the 50-member Parliament in the years to come as they become an Arab version of the soccer mom. That new power will give women a lot more say on issues like corruption, economic development and family law.
Make sure to check out the whole piece. Interesting stuff.
