I had a boss in the 90s who had started wearing the hijab when she got married. We used to talk a lot about why she had started wearing it (her choice, he husband had not wanted her to but she persuaded him that it was not going to make her be oppressed). Anyway, she made me very jealous by constantly pointing out that she did not have to spend ages doing her hair every day, while I did.
