Book Summary
In Cairo in the 1940s, the author was raised by a generation of women who never dressed in the veils and headscarves their mothers and grandmothers had worn. However, the majority of Muslim women throughout the Islamic world again wear the veil. This is a story of the veil's resurgence, from Egypt through Saudi Arabia and into the West.
