Photos by Monique Jaques (BFA '08) were featured in print and online in this week's The New York Times Sunday Review. The article entitled "The Prince Who Would Remake the World," focuses on how the recent policy changes made by the Saudi Crown Prince––specifically, those that empower women––have affected and will continue to affect the daily lives of Muslims around the world. Jaques' photos show glimpses of women's lives in the newly moderized parts of Saudi society. See some examples below.
