female taxi drivers appearing in Cairo

INTERESTING STORY, though I have yet to notice such a trend. I did have one woman as a taxi driver once, maybe five years ago, and it seemed like a one-off anomaly. Until a few years ago you almost never saw a woman waiting tables here either (and it’s still a heavily male job).

And I’d have to agree with the story’s point that a woman driving a taxi in Cairo would be in for a tough time until things change a bit. A lot of the male passengers would be horrible to her.
