tesaweer said:So she made it but her husband did not !! wonder why, does this mean she is working harder than him and her role is more influential than him, ummm I think that's unfair and even untrue. I think he never stops. As for securing more political rights for arab women after becoming queen , that's also not quite right, there has been woman in the cabinet in Egypt and Iraq as ministers and cabinet secretaries for examples, since the fifties of the last century (before she was born), so to deny that and to say that it is something of a novelty is unacceptable by Time magazine. As for increasing the representation of jordanian women in parliament, can anybody plz tell us how many women were there in King Hussein era and how many more are there now. I do agree she is doing a fantastic job in representing a face of Islam acceptable to the west, and I'm also a great admirer of her (hope gap) project and did buy some lovely gifts from her Jordan River foundation shop when I was in Amman, so even though I don't agree with many things in this artile, I do wish her and all the projects she supporting all the best .
I totally agree with u tesaweer,It is a shame that some people forgot what other people who worked hard for dialogue between east and west and between West and Islamic world,and those who worked for human and women rights,and some people now are considering Rania the symbol of leberating muslim women or of the dialogue between cultures,very untrue and unfair considering what she accomplished compared to what others did years ago.
I personally think that no royal or first lady deserves such as position is such as lists,as they have power and recognization only because they are the wife of somebody and not because of the work they are really involvoded for and made it the reason of all their lives.
