Yemeni women burn their veils in protest

I can't help but feeling inspired and solidarity with the Yemeni women. They are incredibly inspiring. Especially when you realize they are poor and uneducated in a country that's still fairly oppressive towards women. Starting with Tawakkol Karmen, who has been travelling. I believe she's still in the US at the moment.  Not only did she win a Nobel prize but she's an inspiration for women around the world.

The article that brought a smile on my face. Women decided to burn their veils in protest. It reminds me of the bra burning done in the 60's by women in the US.
