Women Hated in Saudi (and the rest of the Middle East)

After reading the fist half a page of this prologue I was immediately filled with disgust of the Middle Eastern culture. Geraldine Brooks the author of Nine Parts of Desire was denied the simple task of checking into a hotel in Saudi Arabia. She did not have anywhere else to go and was forced to sleep at the police station where she was surrounded by jail cells in a very harsh environment. All of the time in these Middle Eastern societies women are completely mistreated. They are looked down upon, made mockery of, and not even allowed to show their faces or any other parts of their bodies and some countries. Everything about the treatment of women in these countries is cruel and unjust and should not be permitted anywhere on earth. The treatment women receive is not right and I believe action should be taken to change the many ways of these countries horrible mistreatment of women.
