Title: Mideast Saudi Single Women
Caption: FILE - In this Saturday, March 29, 2014 file photo, Aziza Yousef drives a car on a highway in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of a campaign to defy Saudi Arabia's ban on women driving. Single Saudi women stand at the center of a societal pivot. On the one hand, the kingdom has increasingly encouraged women to graduate from college and enter the workforce. On the other hand, it still requires that they adhere to laws that give men final say over their lives. Over the past three decades until around 2009, the number of Saudi women working was less than 50,000, but is now more than 400,000, according to the Labor Ministry. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali, File)
