Not allowing a woman to wear what she wants and restricting her dress code rights is actually what is bringing the women's movement back.

Hasn't the hijab been imposed on women since the spread of Islam? Women are encouraged to wear it. While it's nice to spin a story about how women choose to wear it today, it doesn't mean women have always had the freedom to choose. The fact that it is prevalent today is probably a result of how it was imposed centuries ago. This is, of course, just some food for thought!
