From Cronin's Newsletter:

"This year, the championships will be played for the first time in Doha, no beacon of women's rights. It's the first time that the world's premier women's sport has chosen to hold its championships in a locale where to be allowed to work or even to drive, a woman needs the permission of her husband or, if still single, the male members of her family. Shriver hopes that the local female population will be able to come out and watch and be inspired.
