When Ataturk came to power and established the Republic, he felt it essential for the veil to be abolished in a modern society. He said in a speech that the only reason Turkish women wore the veil, was because it was well known they were the ugliest women in the world and overnight the veil disappeared from Turkey!!! Date: circa 1910
