      abstract = {"Covering of Muslim women is often perceived as a sign of  oppression in the Western eye. Nonetheless, there are a  soaring number of women who choose to wear the Islamic  headgear as a sign of their liberation and commitment to  God.

Here the reader will hear, for a change,  the insiders' voices from within the Orient, the voices of  the contemporary Turkish women who cover, willingly and  yes, decisively. Their day to day struggles in search for  their niche in the secular Turkish society is intended to  open a new window and provide an alternative perspective  for the Western reader"--},
