The authors of the subjective list rightly ask:
How do we define power? Influence? How do we define ‘Arab’ women? What constitutes ‘Arab’? What makes a powerful Arab woman – industry? contribution to GDP, budget controlled or someone’s definition of what a ‘powerful’ woman should be? Whose definition is privileged? By what standards do we select?
...Still, it might be worth it to learn more about at least some of the women that I know so little about!
