How "liberated" were the Arab women of a college campus in Beirut? A cross-national study testing Lebanese and other Arabs, Christians, and Moslems, revealed that the women were relatively liberal. Dating was common and the western values of family relations were predominant among the women studied. Even the parents of the subjects have accepted the idea of dating and the patterns of behavior associated with this modern social practice.
