"Of all the rights women have in the U.S., the one you probably think least about is driving. For most of us, it&amp;#039;s seen as a nuisance\u2014battling bad traffic, high insurance costs\u2014not a privilege. But for the women of Saudi Arabia, it&amp;#039;s exactly that. Saudi Arabia is the sole country that bans women from driving a car (or riding a bicycle, for that matter). Two months ago, women&amp;#039;s rights activist Manal Al-Sharif decided she had enough and drove her own car. She was subsequently arrested and jailed. Her arrest sparked a grassroots movement to call attention to the issue, culminating in today&amp;#039;s Saudi Women for Driving Initiative. Through efforts on Change.org, the movement has gained followers throughout the world, and inspired a &amp;quot;Honk to Support Saudi Women&amp;quot; YouTube movement (if this pledge doesn&amp;#039;t inspire you, I don&amp;#039;t know what will!). Although it&amp;#039;s been reported that today&amp;#039;s protest hasn&amp;#039;t been as widespread as hoped, Saudi women are still taking to their cars to run errands\u2014and are Tweeting and Facebooking about it to spread the word. Ladies: it&amp;#039;s time to rev your engines! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
