I'm not judging. Just curious what you guys think.

Is it a PR stunt or a real cultural revolution?

Saudi Arabia has changed significantly since 2017, specially when it comes to enabling women.

In the past women had access to higher education and even sometimes outperformed men, but they didn't have a lot of job opportunities afterwards. Now I see women working in more and more places and taking more diverse roles.
