Sorry, but Queen of Sheba was a Yemeni/Arabian queen. Even her name is Arabian/Semitic.
"
There is agreement among scholars that Sheba refers to the South Arabian kingdom of Saba, which is located in present-day Yemen. The Queen’s visit to Jerusalem may have been a trade visit, as it was common to trade spices by horse and camel around the 9 th and 10 th centuries B.C."

Virtually all modern scholars agree that Sheba was the South Arabian kingdom of Saba, centered around the oasis of Marib, in present-day Yemen. Sheba was quite known in the classical world, and its country was called Arabia Felix.[7] Around the middle of the first millennium B.C., there were Sabaeans also in the Horn of Africa, in the area that later became the realm of Aksum.[9]There are five places in the Bible where the writer distinguishes Sheba (שׁבא), i. e. the Yemenite Sabaeans, from Seba (סבא), i. e. the African Sabaeans. In
Ps. 72:10 they are mentioned together: "the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts".
[10] This spelling differentiation, however, may be purely factitious; the indigenous inscriptions make no such difference, and both Yemenite and African Sabaeans are there spelt in exactly the same way.

I am simply disproving radical Western feminism that aims at portraying Saudi Arabian women as some kind of lifeless organisms that have no place or say in society just because of 1 or 2-3 laws. I think I did a good job of this.
Besides basically Saudi Arabian women/Arab women as a whole are ruling/controlling most households.
The most conservative dress is a niqab indeed but no burqa is worn anywhere in the Arab world simply because it has no tradition there. It is worn mostly in Afghanistan and surrounding areas. By far most Arab women wear a hijab.
Islamic conservatism is by default against Western radical feminism that tries to undermine the traditional role of both sexes. That tries to put in place laws that are against human nature and common sense.
I already wrote that I find the 26 year old ban on women to be ridiculous and it has nothing to do with religion but social concerns. Besides there is actually some sense in that law, believe it or not, because the road safety in KSA is absolutely atrocious and travel distances are huge in KSA. In a very tightly-knitted, private and family-orientated culture this poses challenges. Especially for young women, not so much older women although I would fear for them too given the appalling road safety.
But this whole propaganda or fantasy of Saudi Arabian women living like female counterparts under Taliban and ISIS is simply some of the most ridiculous nonsense that I have ever encountered. See post 1, 2 and 12.
The whole world knows this but unfortunately many rednecks, especially of late, believe a lot of lies that are being propagandize not only against KSA but the entire Arab and Muslim world. Including on this very forum. Therefore threads such as those are needed from time to time. I personally have no interest to convince non-Muslims or foreigners of anything. I just put forward the data to disprove their lies.
