WOMEN OF THE WORLD IN PICTURES:                                               ISRAELI WOMEN VS. ARAB WOMEN

  

Photos from left to right. Photo from Israel.  #1.Sent to us from a "Loper Lover" with this caption: "Free to be themselves, free to dress as they please, free to date who they want, free to drive, free to work, free to choose their own mates, free to study, free to travel abroad without the consent of a male relative, free to lead, free to write and publish, free to make reproductive choices. Just like American women, Israeli women have all of these freedoms. Women in the surrounding Muslim countries are still waiting. Photo from  Bahrain. #2. Rakia Al Gassra of Bahrain ran in a qualifying heat of the 100m. She ran in a full hejab covered from head to toe. She was one of five Muslim women running in the 100 meters. Danah Al Nasrallah, 16, was the first Kuwaiti woman to compete in the Olympics. These women have a fierce spirit and I admire them for it.
