This book was referenced in some other things I was reading on female modesty and I was intrigued by the concept so I decided to pick it up even though I am not Jewish. I was kind of disappointed to see that rather than one coherent piece it was an anthology of first person confessional essays, a genre I have grown quite weary of since about 1996. Still it was an interesting read, albeit uneven as such compilations typically are. I learned some things I didn't know about the Jewish legal reasoning behind female headcoverings, and some of the more specific aspects of how those laws work out in personal observances. I have to say I am a little relieved that I am not subject to the laws, as it all sounded quite stressful, frankly. I have been contemplating headcovering myself (as a Christian) but more along the lines of the reasoning behind Jewish male headcovering ("yirat haShem") than reasons of modesty. Still, food for thought and definitely off the beaten path for me.
