Manal al-Sharif, a women's rights activist from Saudi Arabia and one of the leaders of the Women2Drive campaign after she was arrested for driving in 2011, tweeted Tuesday that the nation "will never be the same."。

Al-Sharif is just one of many Saudi women on Twitter shouting out the significance of the news, driving home the fact that it's Saudi women themselves who are responsible for the victory. That includes Loujain Hathloul, who was arrested for driving in 2014 and again earlier this year; Tamador al-Yami, a Saudi blogger, opinion writer, and driving activist; and Souad al-Shammary, an activist known for "challenging Saudi taboos." All three have been prominent participants in the Women2Drive movement. 。
