520    In Cairo in the 1940s, Leila Ahmed was raised by a 
       generation of women who never dressed in the veils and 
       headscarves their mothers and grandmothers had worn. To 
       them, these coverings seemed irrelevant to both modern 
       life and Islamic piety. Today, however, the majority of 
       Muslim women throughout the Islamic world again wear the 
       veil. Why, Ahmed asks, did this change take root so 
       swiftly, and what does this shift mean for women, Islam, 
       and the West? When she began her study, Ahmed assumed that
       the veil's return indicated a backward step for Muslim 
       women worldwide. However, the stories of British colonial 
       officials, young Muslim feminists, Arab nationalists, 
       pious Islamic daughters, American Muslim immigrants, 
       violent jihadists, and peaceful Islamic activists, 
       confounded her expectations. Ahmed observed that Islamism,
       with its commitments to activism in the service of the 
       poor and in pursuit of social justice, is the strain of 
       Islam most easily and naturally merging with western 
       democracies' own tradition of activism in the cause of 
       justice and social change. It is often Islamists, even 
       more than secular Muslims, who are at the forefront of 
       such contemporary activist struggles as civil rights and 
       women's rights. Ahmed's surprising conclusions represent a
       near reversal of her thinking on this topic. This story of
       the veil's resurgence, from Egypt through Saudi Arabia and
       into the West, suggests a dramatically new portrait of 
       contemporary Islam.
