finally finished posting pictures up on my site of the time I was in Egypt producing a show at the pyramids with our renowned
Dr. Zahi Hawass. 
The
Kuwaiti women who worked so hard during the 1990-1991 Iraqi occupation of their
country, succeeded to earn their respect in the Kuwaiti all-male parliament. On
a monumental day in Kuwaiti history, the nation's parliament
accepted to offer women full political rights. In a 1999 decree, Kuwait's emir Sheik Jaber
Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah. granted women political rights but that move was struck down
by parliament. Kuwaiti women had already managed to become professors, doctors,
scientists, engineers, lawyers, teachers, sociologists, psychologist,
journalists, nurses and businesswomen, have now finally become eligible to
become part of the political system. Political science professor, Mary Anne
Tetreault, who had written the book, Stories of Democracy: Politics and Society
in Contemporary Kuwait, mentioned that she, "was amazed to see on TV
the Kuwaiti Parliament passing a law giving women the right to vote and contest
parliamentary local elections." Furthermore, the recent appointment of two
distinguished female engineers as members of the municipal council (Eng. Fatima
al-Sabah and Eng. Fawziya al-Bahar) is another great step towards gender equality.
Only days before this publication, in an important step forward, Dr. Massouma
Al-Mubarak-- professor of political science at Kuwait University--was the first
ever woman Minister (Ministry of Planning) and cabinet member. Will the
Prime Minister Sheik Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah appoint a senior female doctor as Minister of Health
to fill the current vacancy resulting from the resignation
of Dr. Al-Garalla?
