living in Riyadh, a mother of four children who, like many Saudi women, are angry about the discrimination they face, but feel powerless to change anything.Since then, her compositions for the semi-final rounds which criticised "ad hoc fatwas” and compared those who veil the truth to the explosives belts worn by suicide bombers, have spread like wildfire around the world.
