- Description
- Daphne Grace explores the complex and contested role of veiling over the last 120 years. Looking at the ways in which the veil is used in literature, and its representations in writing, she shows how veiling has come to stand for oppression and resistance. Grace asks why veiling seems more popular than ever and explores what veiling means for the women themselves.
