Dr. Qanta Ahmed dared to enter Saudi Arabia, The Land of Invisible Women. An excellent gripping tale.

Excerpt: "The Hajj experience changed Dr. Ahmed permanently. It helped her repair her battered female spirit. She found that a true Islamic faith had nothing to do with the insanity imposed by radical extremists whose irrational interpretation of Islamic law: 1) mummified the body of women by demanding full-body veiling 2) silenced women’s rights by claiming them inferior beings subject to the whims of men 3) destroyed their very freedom to move about by making it illegal for women to drive. In the Land of Invisible Women is a must read for everyone. Why? People must find out how Dr. Ahmed dared to cope with radical Islamic fundamentalism. Rather than misery and despair, her story is one of brightness and optimism for Saudi women. But equally vital, it is a tale of expectation, a hope that brave Saudi men, who dare read her story, might have a jolt of conscience over unjustified cowardly feelings they hold toward women."
