Genrder triumph in conservative Saudi Arabia

I find this interesting as it's in a conservative society. If you've recently done the tradition compre, note also a comment in the compre about how the grip of tradition remains in the social sphere, but is slowing letting up in the economic and political sphere. What's mentioned in the article below appears to support this. I suppose this is because what's happening in the social sphere is zealously guarded as it is about their traditional cultural identity. More flexibility is given in the economic sphere because they need the country to progress economically if they want to compete and succeed in the world stage.
Political-wise, with the King's support, Saudi Arabia will soon allow women to participate in municipal elections, whatever that is, in 2015. See  HERE
