She didn't know she could vote, but she "chose" to wear the niqab?
Sure, right, I believe that.
She'd fail her citizenship application in the States, too. I mean c'mon, if you don't even know about suffrage. It wasn't just about the niqab. Sounds like she was kept in ignorance on many levels. Even a victim of systemic psychological abuse and control may be allowed to drive to the supermarket and back, so I'm not convinced by those details. The human mind is a funny thing, and it's scary how easy it is enslaved.

women sticking up for their own oppression--gotta love 'em.
