Mahmood emailed me with the names of some women's blogs from the Middle East:

There are several women in the Arab world with blogs, ones that I like to read are:

Baghdad Burning
ihath although she blogs from Canada
Desert Mermaid an expatriate woman's perspective
Simply Stinni an American lady married to a Kuwaiti and lives in Kuwait
Writer's Block a wonderful and very perceptive young lady from Jeddah, she is a Saudi, so this one is probably the first Saudi woman's blog in the world!
