It surprised me that the university was for women yet…
““It surprised me that the university was for women yet Sylvia wasn’t able to get much out of it by being a woman. Everything came down to what Malik was, wasn’t, had or didn't have. I would think a university for women would empower women, not turn them out. I believe Dr. Wafah liked to pretend to have good intentions. She acted as if she was doing a lot to change the way women were treated in Saudi Arabia but she was truly doing nothing."--Maria E.””
