The Land of Invisible Women

After reading the article "In the Land of Invisible Women," by Janine DiGiovanni I was surprised at how young the women are when they are married.  By the time a girl in Yemen is approximately our age, she is most likely married with children and does not have an education.  On the contrary, 17-18 year olds in our culture are preparing to leave for college and looking towards their future with an education.  In addition, I found it interesting about the way they dressed.  Underneath their traditional garb, they wear modern street clothes and also go to salons. It is strange to think just how different things are for women just across the world.
