A quiet revolution
Ahmed, Leila2012
Book
In Cairo in the 1940s, Leila Ahmed was raised by a generation of women who never dressed in the veils and headscarves their mothers and grandmothers had worn. Today, however, the majority of Muslim women again wear the veil. Ahmed explores why this change took root so swiftly and what the shift means for women.
