BBC NEWS | Middle East | Dubai women storm world of work: "When Fatma Mohamed Haj, 21, decided she wanted to train as a radiologist, her family objected.
She would have to touch men she barely knew, which is forbidden in the traditional Islamic culture of the United Arab Emirates.
And she would have to work nights in a society where it is frowned upon for young women to be out after 10pm.
But she argued her case and is now seeking her first job.
A UAE national living in Dubai, she is one of a generation of young women at the forefront of fast-paced cultural change."
Lets hope this attitude is contagious.
