A conference in Saudi Arabia Posted By sheila on February 5, 2015 OK, so what do you think a conference on “Women in Society” in Saudi Arabia looks like? I was guessing that it looked like laundry bags (and sounded very interesting). My son guessed that it would be an empty room. Nope. It’s all men.
