Based on the article "A Womens' Rights Push" by Karen Elliott House, Women in Saudi Arabia are taking jobs and challenging the ban on driving. In Saudi women are not aloud to drive, work, or go to any religious outings. Women are accepted to have a chaperone or they can't go any where. Some women are challenging this ban and are trying their hardest to work and drive. One woman named Jawharah 35-years-old is working for the first time. Jawharah's husband inspected the store before she could take the job as a saleswoman. Jawharah says " It's nice to get out and work and get paid" Jawharah is a part of a new wave of women who are pushing the boundaries of what woman are allowed to do.
The author included these details to show how women's lives in Saudi Arabia are. The author adds lots of specific detail about religion to show how women compare to women.The author added lots of information so we can get a better understanding on why women were being mistreated. The author provides all these examples to help explain the article and to help make sense of it.
The author uses a quote to help convey her message. The authors message is, that inequality between men and women In Saudi Arabia is wrong. The author interviewed Jawharah a women who was challenging the bans against women. The author used the quote to express how women are trying to break free of these rules to feel normal.
After reading this article I realized that sexism still goes on around the world. This makes me feel bad for girls in Saudi Arabia because they have to have a chaperone to go anywhere. This also shows me how greatful I should be that I have the freedom to walk around without a chaperone. This was a very interesting article. I liked how this article showed a different side to different culture and religion.
