Dr. Tamader Al-Rammah
It’s not very well known to the world that many Saudi Arabian women are making global waves in their positions in medicine, finance, politics and much more. From being appointed in top positons within large companies, being allowed the ability to join the Saudi army, driving and partaking in sport publicly, Saudi Arabian women are slowly gaining confidence and recognition for their intelligence and work ethics as well as their rights.
Earlier this year, 3 Saudi women were appointed by royal decree in top leading roles by King Salman himself making them perhaps some of the most powerful women in the kingdom.
