An interesting consequence of the Arab
Spring is that it is compelling the West to re-evaluate its
understanding of the Middle East. Stereotypes and
misconceptions have abounded, but today the region can no
longer be grossly dismissed as home only to extremists or
the oil-rich. Instead, a more nuanced and accurate picture
is emerging: one that is as full of contradictions as an
image of any region will be. For a region not known for its
equitable attitudes towards women, for instance, the Middle
East offers up some surprising results for girls in school,
results that are much better in some ways than the rest of
the world.
