This book aims to unveil the mystery of the tudung (headscarf). Forty-two Muslims and non-Muslims pen their views about Islamic modesty, their personal experiences with the tudung and its wearers, and their struggle to combat stereotypes in a pluralistic society. A colourful anthology of articles, personal anecdotes, quotes and poems, this coffee-table book is a must-read for those who wish to gain an insight into Islam and the lives of Muslims.
