In 1989 I spent two weeks in North Yemen staying with a friend who was working with Yemeni women in a textile program. She was based in Sana'a which has extraordinarily beautiful architecture. Most of the women were covered and I found it quite strange to have a conversation with some one whose face I could not see.
