How to make Saudia Arabia a normal society?
Most importantly: stop using oil and natural gas sooner rather than later.
Reasoning: the king stays in power by paying cops, security officials and prison guards - and paying people to shut up and tolerate the regime. Once the system runs low on money, things may change.
Note: women in Europe made rapid progress at getting civil rights at a time when they were needed to run ammunition factories.
It doesn't have to be a world war - any development that makes it economically unavoidable that women start going to work outside their home, will change the role of women in society.
