Book talk: "Arab Women Rising"

This episode of Global Journalist originally aired in August 2014.

Following the Arab Spring, gender equality between men and women in the Middle East is improving. Women today have more opportunities, both in business and in society, than they did in previous years. Two journalists set out to learn just how the landscape has changed for Arab women, and have published their stories in a book called Arab Women Rising. On Global Journalist, we talk to the authors of the book about their project, and what they found.

Our guests:

• Nafeesa Syeed, a journalist
• Rahilla Zafar, a journalist
