“Saudi Arabian women are going to have to fight for our rights, men are not going to just hand them over to us,” said Amira Kashgary, a professor who drove through Jidda on Friday for 45 minutes with her 21-year-old daughter. Women are tired of being stranded or missing appointments because their drivers disappear for the day, Professor Kashgary said. “We want to drive today, tomorrow, and every day — it’s not a one-day show. We want to make it a norm.”

The main ideas of the article "In a Scattered Protest, Saudi Women Take the Wheel" are the following:

  • Women should have the same rights as men in Arabian countries. Even though the country has been upgrading women's right, there is still a lot more to do.
  • Even though women are allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, they complained against the country's ban on female drivers and argued that the Arab state should allow women to hold a license.
