By your own admission the book's factuality is questionable. I am a Muslim and lived 10 years in Saudi Arabia. So I would say that I have a good insight into that society. I agree with you that the ruling class of Saudis is oppressive to women. In fact, the corrupt ruling family often feels threatened by Islamic teachings.
