In recent years the Saudi government has felt increasing international pressure to offer greater roles for women in society. Implicit in these calls for reform, however, is an assumption that the only "real" society is male society. Little consideration has been given to the rapidly evolving activities within women's spaces. This book joins young urban women in their daily lives?in the workplace, on the female university campus, at the mall?to show how these women are transforming Saudi cities from within and creating their own urban, professional, consumerist lifestyles. As young Saudi women are emerging as an increasingly visible social group, they are shaping new social norms. Their shared urban spaces offer women the opportunity to shed certain constraints and imagine themselves in new roles. But to feel included in this peer group, women must adhere to new constraints: to be sophisticated, fashionable, feminine, and modern. The position of "other" women?poor, rural, or non-Saudi women?is increasingly marginalized. While young urban women may embody the image of a "reformed" Saudi nation, the reform project ultimately remains incomplete, drawing new hierarchies and lines of exclusion among women. 606 $aPublic spaces -- Social aspects -- Saudi Arabia 606 $aUrban women -- Saudi Arabia -- Social conditions 606 $aYoung women -- Saudi Arabia -- Social conditions 606 $aYoung women$xSocial conditions$zSaudi Arabia 606 $aUrban women$xSocial conditions$zSaudi Arabia 606 $aPublic spaces$xSocial aspects$zSaudi Arabia 606 $aGender & Ethnic Studies$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aGender Studies & Sexuality$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aPublic spaces -- Social aspects -- Saudi Arabia. 615 4$aUrban women -- Saudi Arabia -- Social conditions. 615 4$aYoung women -- Saudi Arabia -- Social conditions. 615 0$aYoung women$xSocial conditions 615 0$aUrban women$xSocial conditions 615 0$aPublic spaces$xSocial aspects 615 7$aGender & Ethnic Studies 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aGender Studies & Sexuality 676 $a305.242 209538 700 $aLe Renard$b Amelie, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01031353 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464865303321 996 $aA Society of Young Women$92448684 997 $aUNINA
