  <default-description>&lt;i&gt;Princess: A true story of life behind the veil in Saudi Arabia&lt;/i&gt; describes the life of Princess Sultana Al Sa'ud, a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia. Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her country.  &lt;P&gt;Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: thirteen-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age, young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the &quot;women's room.&quot;  &lt;P&gt;PRINCESS is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage, and you will never forget her or her Muslim sisters.</default-description>

It's one of those sad stories that must be told.<br/><br/>It is no secret that this country treats women as second class. Their culture is full of sad, centuries-old traditions. Women can't drive.
