The modern state and the challenges of women's development

The idea of this book was born from two main motivations: one is that what has been achieved for women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, since its unification and the launch of the modern state until today, of rapid and extensive development in various fields, is a remarkable model of human development that occurs in societies regardless of their differences. The fact that women have moved in just a few decades from a state of weakness, ignorance, isolation, and complete dependence on men, to what they are today of noticeable moral strength, scientific, skill, and economic empowerment, which clearly reflects on the growth of the national economy, truly makes the Kingdom's experience in women's development one of the most successful global experiences in the field of human development and social change. Especially since the speed at which women's development occurred in the Kingdom represents a record-breaking pace when compared to similar human development movements in other societies, which often take a long time before their effects appear and society reaps their benefits.
