Surviving Riyadh by Alma B. Apostol

My book is about my experiences as an expatriate in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia working as a Research Associate at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center. Saudi Arabia is also a country incredibly difficult to visit and a male dominated society where rights of women are just 50% of that of men. I described overcoming many obstacles in my work environment as well as the restrictions imposed upon me as a woman. I also described the uniqueness of these experiences whereby I learned to empathize with the flights of women whose rights are restricted. It has given me a passion to encourage women whose rights are restricted to unite and keep moving forward towards a complete freedom. How I’m rewarded for the publication of this book. I share my journey, my experiences and observations as an expatriate in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia through my writings and speech engagements.
