Politically Powerless, Economically Powerful: A Contradiction?: A Conversation with businesswoman Rasha Hifzi

This podcast is a part of the International Museum of Women’s digital exhibition, Women, Power, and Politics, curated by Dr. Masum Momaya. Saudi Arabian women aren’t allowed to drive and aren’t allowed to be in a room alone with a man who isn’t their relative. Yet they own nearly 70 percent of bank accounts and 20 percent of private companies in the Kingdom. In this podcast, businesswoman and women’s rights activist Rasha Hifzi speaks about this contradiction and Saudi women’s struggle for political equality.
