watching videos of women driving should not be so news worthy or compelling in 2011 - but last week, many women in saudi arabia took to the streets to do just that in protest to the fact that they are prohibited by their government to do so. these acts of civil disobedience may be small in scale but i find the videos (posted on you tube and on several online news sites) moving and inspiring. a quiet reminder of the simple rights i take for granted.
