Question

What does driving represent to saudi women? Why is it " a kind of Alamo to supporters of ban?

Answer 1

The best answer for this question would be:

That driving represented a powerful action for the women. Because the women in Saudi were not as privileged to drive than men. It symbolizes the empowerment and movement that women are more free to choose what they do.

Answer 2

Driving is seen as an Alamo of sorts because women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed many rights and driving is one of the exceptions as they are allowed to drive. This can be related to the Alamo in the sense that Texas wanted it's independence from Mexico, the same as the women of Saudi Arabia wanting more rights in their country.
