Saudi women to get first taste of polls

From Al-Jazeera:

Saudi Arabian businesswomen will be able to stand for election to a local trade and industry chamber in the first vote of its kind for women in the Kingdom, a top executive has said.

It's a step in the right direction. I wonder, how are they going to get to work if they are elected? They can't drive.

I sure am glad I live in the 21st century rather than the 10th like they do.
