This struck me.

I wonder how widespread this news is.
Rania al-Baz has been hailed as a hero for letting newspaper photographers snap pictures of her face and for frankly discussing her case after she said a beating by her husband earlier this month left her unconscious.


She went public in Saudi Arabia, and the world, and damn the personal consequences. I wonder what will happen to her when she gets out of hospital.

Here's the CNN article.

Believe it or not, I actually first read about it in a People magazine bought on a whim at Safeway. (Ironically, the following article was about 2 Russian boxing brothers. Is that ironic? Probably not. Hmm.. just noticed my choice of title for this post.)
