Saudi shifts inch toward reform with women on Shura Council
Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reports Saudi King Abdullah named 30 women to the 150 member Shura Council, granting 20 percent of seats to women. The move, though likely symbolic to skeptics, signals a potential framework for modernization as conservatives object. Hayat Sindi, a Cambridge PhD and founder, serves among the new appointees, stressing science and entrepreneurship to broaden women’s roles in Saudi society.
