Not if males in power they have their way, but they can hold out only so long. They still want all the women barefoot, covered and pregnant and not to ever be educated. Only the males can go to school and never higher than needed for their position in life.
That said, I just returned from two months in the Middle East and things in Iraq, Saudi, Dubai and so on are improving by the week. Now ladies are allowed to drive in many of the countries over there and Dubai wearing of the abaya is optional, and they are taking full advantage of it.
Give things 3-5 years and if the entire place is not a glass parking lot, the women are driving a revolution over there. It will not be easy but they have seen and felt what its like to be equal and will not be held back forever.
