I think what struck me most in my research was that the women of Qatar are present in the poetry and the literature. There is a tendency in the west to paint the women of Islam as repressed and silenced, and maybe there is something to that, but it's also important not to judge a culture by another's standards. There is beauty and intelligence and strength in those women as well. And in this culture at least, there's the possibility of a public voice. And that's something special that is important to remember.
