Introduction Hijab in Tehran Jilbab in Yogyakarta Tesettür in Istanbul Pious fashion across cultures Epilogue.

For many westerners, the veil is the ultimate sign of women's oppression. But Elizabeth Bucar's take on Muslim women's clothing is a far cry from this attitude. She invites readers to join her in three Muslim-majority nations as she surveys pious fashion from head to toe and shows how Muslim women approach the question "What to wear?" with style.--
