Today's quote:

“Movement...is a very big issue for Saudi women, the idea of transportation and moving from Point A to Point B. So I explore the idea of driving because women are not allowed to drive in Saudi. Other images address women’s sports in schools, which are not allowed. This is not something I am bringing up for the first time: this is a dialogue that exists within the community, in the media, in the elite class, in the lower class. But I portray the contemporary scene within the general discussion in Saudi Arabia.”

~ Manal al-Dowayan, a feminist photographer, in "Women of Saudi Arabia Emerge on the Bosporus" (New York Times)
