Here are some sources on women in Oman, some as much as 20 years old, however:

Eickelman, Christine.  Women and Community in Oman.  New York and London: 
New York
         University Press, 1984.
Fakhro, Munira A.  Women at Work in the Gulf, 1990.
Ramazani, Nesta.  "Arab Women in the Gulf."  Middle East Journal 39 (1985): 
258-276.
Riphenburg, Carol J.  "Changing Gender Relations and the Development 
Process in Oman,"
         pp. 144-168.  In Islam, Gender, and Social Change, ed. Yvonne 
Yazbeck Haddad and
         John L. Esposito.  Oxford, 1998.
Wikan, Uta.  Behind the Veil in Arabia: Women in Oman, 1982.

I hope this is of some help to you.
