A Saudi woman works in a lingerie shop at a mall in Jeddah January 9, 2012. No longer will they have to endure watching male shop assistants trying to size them up for underwear by sight through their voluminous, Islamically-approved robes. For the women who stand behind the till, King Abdullah’s order last year to make lingerie shops an exclusively female domain also marks a more profound social shift: a step forward for female employment.
