WINEP Women in Gulf

Simon Henderson, writing for WINEP, weighs in on the current status of women's rights in the Gulf.  Not much new by way of analysis, but a handy country by country snapshot of the current political state of play in the Gulf states.

Meanwhile, Phebe Marr - a woman who knows a lot about the Gulf, even if she is not technically a woman in the Gulf - has an interesting review of new books by Larry Diamond and David Phillips in Foreign Affairs.
