Aziza Ibrahim, also known as "Um Alaa", carries a cooking gas cylinder to deliver it to a client in Amman February 11, 2010. Um Alaa is the first Jordanian woman to operate a cooking gas delivery agency. Instead of setting up a traditional business to raise the standard of living for her family, she decided to establish this agency of her own to break the decades-long male dominance in this field of work. Um Alaa says she did extensive research and had lengthy discussions with her family before going ahead with this business. REUTERS/Ali Jarekji (JORDAN - Tags: ENERGY SOCIETY BUSINESS)
