Women in Saudi Arabia have been celebrating the news that they will finally be able to drive, a landmark step that brings the conservative kingdom in line with the rest of the world and will allow many more women to work.
The Saudi Foreign ministry announced on Wednesday that a royal decree has been issued that will allow women to drive by next June.
Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the US says that this is a historic day in their kingdom.
The move follows years of activism and appeals both from within and outside the Gulf nation.
