Small correction OP: this work is titled "Mother, Daughter and Doll" and it's one work in her Hijab Series.

'I’m not against veiling – I feel comfortable wearing the hijab in Yemen – but I object to excessive veiling and its idea of the ownership of women,' Almutawakel says. 'It doesn’t really have anything to do with Islam. The solution, instead of covering up women, is to work on the men.'

Watching an entire country be pulled hundreds of years behind in human progress is strange to witness as someone from a generation who hasn't seen any of the great wars of the 20th century.
