    What is the face veil called as worn by Muslim women?

    Question #101288. Asked by armindasantana. (Nov 26 08 4:05 PM)

    		Niqāb is a veil which covers the face, worn by some Muslim women as a part of sartorial hijāb. Hijab is the Arabic term for "cover" (noun), based on the root meaning "to veil, to cover (verb), to screen, to shelter".

    Many of us are familiar with her talents, but they went unrecognized by the public until the press blew her cover (thereby, perhaps, preventing someone better known from winning an Academy Award). She has given "tone" to a Cockney, a Puerto Rican, a sojourner in an exotic land, some angels, and a goose, but it was not until she took the veil that her face was actually seen. Who is this long unsung lady?
