International Women’s Day is tomorrow and that means celebrating the women of today and what they’ve managed to accomplish. It has taken a long time, especially in conservative regions, for women to find their voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the strength, perseverance and their hard-work has fought societal norms and made them come out even stronger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are the 7 superwomen in Saudi whom we should all be proud of:<\/p>\n

1. Lubna Olayan<\/h3>\n

The CEO of Riyadh-based Olayan\u00a0Financing company, Lubna Olayan is a force to be reckoned with. She has been running her father’s company (started in 1947) and she has helped it become one of the biggest investors in regional stock markets as well as in the Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talk about goals foh’ life. Oh and did we mention?<\/p>\n

She was also named the #1 Most Powerful Arab Businesswoman by Forbes in 2017.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
