A series of compelling first-person accounts from French and Francophone women who wear or have worn the niqab in France’s Salafi communities. With the backdrop of the French government’s 2010 ban on full facial veiling in public spaces, De Féo draws on her subjects’ own words to show their agency, working against the clichés that often underlie public views of the niqab.
