El‐Sanabary, N.A.G.A.T., (1994). Female education in Saudi Arabia and the reproduction of gender division. Gender and Education6(2), pp.141-150.

The researcher highlighted the educational policy in the kingdom. The women education focused on the domestic function of women as mothers and home makers. In addition, the education in Saudi Arabia is segregated by separating women from men in schools and colleges. However, Saudi women education does not led to a real female contribution in Saudi society.

This article will be useful in many ways. It will enable me to criticize the dual educational system in the kingdom in the finding section. Also I will be able to analyze the problem of women education. It will also enable me to set gender division as a basic corner in the literature review and in the introduction too.

Al Rawaf, H. S., & Simmons, C. (1991). The education of women in Saudi Arabia. Comparative Education, 27(3), 287-295.

The researcher in this study highlighted the history of education in Saudi Arabia. The writer traced the female education which started in Saudi Arabia in 1960. The writer provided many statistics about the education in general and female education in particular. The writer demonstrates the development plans of education of women.

This article is also important for a historical point of view. The article will serve as the historical background of the research. It provides all the dates and statistics of all educational developmental plans of women education. I will use these dates and statistics in many parts in the research.

Al‐Hariri, R. (1987). Islam's point of view on women's education in Saudi Arabia. Comparative education, 23(1), 51-57.

The researcher discussed the issues of women learning according to the principles of Islam. He spotlighted the religious point of view. However, he discussed how this point of view is really applied in the Saudi. He discussed the concepts of equality. However, he also highlighted the Islamic principle for women to stay at home and how that effected women education in the kingdom.

The most important part in this article is the discussion of the religious background of women education and how it was wrongly applied in the Saudi society. This article will be used for a private section of the religious implications in the Saudi female education. Moreover, In case I designed a questionnaire, I will use the religious factor as a point for surveying
