The Islamic veil in all its forms - from the headscarf to the full body garment - is one of the most visible signs of Islam as a religion. This concise introduction to the veil is organised around three main topics: the historical, religious and cultural background; contemporary debates about the veil; and the varied, shifting meanings the veil has had for Muslim women over the past century.
