Good stuff! Its actually good to see that women rights are improving. If they want to have rights they actually have to take it! It can't be made without them trying.

I would like all the women to start working and actually do something with Islamic rules.

Everyone has its own set of Islamic Rules. Unless there is a single version of Islamic rules.

Back in 2006, I traveled from Islamabad to Quetta and she was the captain of the plane.

That was the first thing that came to my mind when she said "I am your Captain.....", But she was a pro!
