Women Key to Middle East Progress

National Review contributor and IWF?s friend, Myrna Blyth, has an excellent oped on NRO today highlighting some of the amazing women who were honored by the State Department as a part of International Women?s Day celebrations.  Myrna emphasizes the important role that women?s like these play in determining our future:  "The future of the Middle East perhaps depends more on improving the status of women than on any other factor."  And the existence of women like these makes you feel a bit more optimistic about that future.
