The seventh issue of the journal Culturas aims to provide a better understanding of the situation, habits, false ideas, changes and challenges found by women in the Middle East and elsewhere. This issue focuses on the core themes of women' s life in the different countries, and provides data on their education level, life expectancy and fertility rates in order to analyse the future challenges. Women' s contemporary literature and the role of the Internet in the evolution of social and political relations are also addressed.
