Before the occupation, around 50% of the college students were females, and over 50% of the working force was composed of women. Not so anymore. We are seeing an increase of fundamentalism in Iraq which is terrifying (17).
No matter *what* anyone heard, females in Iraq were a lot better off than females in other parts of the Arab World (and some parts of the Western world--we had equal salaries!)...We were doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, professors, deans, and architects, programmers, and more (22).
