The image that many associate with typical Iranian dress is that of the full chador — where any appearance in public is under a shroud of black. Generally this means the woman is more traditional in her representation of proper hejab.
![Page 47: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Both of these women are acceptably veiled, but black is considered more respectful.
![Page 48: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
School girls are inevitably uniformed, frequently in lighter colors. This hood-like headcovering is called a maghnaeh. It has the advantage of not slipping — and of course, showing less hair than a scarf.
![Page 49: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Scarves do slip (and all that evil hair shows), and you have to re-tie them. And
they slip again... and again.
![Page 50: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
There is some room for interpretation... and always a way to show your independence.
![Page 51: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
If you are interested in making a fashion
statement in Iran, you start with the feet.
![Page 52: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
This woman is a
well-to-do professional who dresses fashionably,
but within the rules.
![Page 53: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Attitude.
Hejab can't discourage a determination for style.
![Page 54: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Not long ago it was against the law to wear backpacks — too "western." Now they're everywhere... and there's no going back.
![Page 55: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Iran is a mix of many cultures and ancient traditions.
Throughout the country — even in rural villages —
there is the ever-present head covering, but otherwise the clothing is as diverse as the
people.
![Page 56: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Headscarves are required at the age of nine, and become an accepted part — more or less — of what females wear, as well as a suggestion of who they are. What it means to be a good Muslim woman is subtly debated with each woman's representation of proper hejab.
![Page 57: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
The veil is a “symbol” that stands for many things, including:
•Religious status
•Economic status
•Protection
•Privacy
•Honor
•Respectability

What might be considered some
Western equivalents of the
Veil?

Tehran University allows women to enroll! Reza Shah Pahlavi forbids women to wear the veil, a western-influenced plan that backfires…. the
majority of Iranians are scandalized by immodesty and women stay home.
![Page 68: Behind the Veil:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56813472550346895d9b56d7/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Ayatollah Khomeini, a Muslim religious leader, overthrows the Shah. Women, who strongly supported the revolution, are not rewarded for their efforts...the marriage age lowers, polygamy is legalized and abortions are banned.

Hejab (Islamic veils and dress) becomes law. The sexes are segregated, women singers and actors are prevented from performing and women are banned from certain professions.
