Iran has the highest ratio of female to male undergraduates in the world, according to UNESCO. Females make up about 65% of the student population.

Currently, there are two Muslim women heads of state: President Atifete Jahjaga of Kosovo and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed of Bangladesh.

Previously, there have been six Muslim women heads of state: Benazir Bhutto (Pakistan), Khaleda Zia (Bangladesh), Cissé Mariam Kaïdama Sidibé (Mali), Mame Madior Boye (Senegal), Tansu Ciller (Turkey), and Megawati Sukarnoputri (Indonesia).

I've actually found the comparisons between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and US attitudes toward each to be pretty interesting.

For the Saudi stats you listed above, question:

Are there a lot more female doctors because men are basically not allowed to touch women, or hell even see their faces/ankles/wrists, etc?

What good is a science degree if you're not allowed to work, drive to your job, etc. (I find that one especially surprising)
