Gillian Rose (feminist geographer) (1981) argues that the isolation of women as housewives in suburban locations emerged from the combined influence of working-class households, strategies, governmental policy and male power within families and trade unions.  Since Rose first argued this huge strides have been made in the name of feminism; but this is not demonstrated in Middle Eastern countries - especially in Saudi Arabia where women are not allowed to drive a car.  Saudi Arabia's belief system is deeply embedded in strict Islamic Sharia Law.  We have to ask the question "despite its wealth and power can Saudi Arabia be taken seriously in the 21st century when it imposes 7th century living conditions upon its citizens and visitors.
