whether or not the Arab women are trapped in their roles or if they enjoy them despite the restrictions. A thesis submitted by a student is that Arab women hope
for equal access to family law, the right to dress, and the right to an education as well as other things. Here, the implication is that Arab women are
oppressed to a great extent. Saudi women for example are not allowed out without chaperones and are required to keep their entire bodies covered when they are in public (Zeinert,
2005). While there are rules in Saudi Arabia, some believe that Muslim women are simply misunderstood. They are seen as helpless and disenfranchised, but some claim that the reality is
that they are not either. Some believe that Arab women do have many rights as well as resources. Things are just different than they are in the west and
many women to like it that way. Indeed, this theme appears to come through in several of the readings in a compilation published by Afkhami (1995) where it is suggested
that Muslim women have far more rights than western women imagine. Afkhami (1995) attempts to convey the idea that Muslim women are mischaracterized. While there are those who do not
believe that the women want change, there is a growing movement that does suggest these women are not content. Of course, there will always be a minority of women who
like the oppression because it is equated with traditions that they enjoy. However, the vast majority of women seem to want change. It also appears that by and large, there
is a cover up of sorts. To keep the women in their place, there is rhetoric that suggests women are not oppressed and rather, they like things as they are.
