The meaning and semiotics of women's veiling different societies and eras

Women's hiddenness has a long history in the Islamic world and the orient.Women have been clothed and hidden and in terms of social distancing, somehow kept at home and away from society. Although it was not always like this, and there are some women who are Muslims but don't observe the hijab. In this research we adopted a sociological and semiotic approach towards hijab and its significance in different eras according to religious criteria. The method of research is a descriptive-analytical one.We have looked at different documents to gather data, as well as journals and websites devoted to this issue. First, we have a theoretical discussion about clothing and creation of meaning and clothing as a social act. Then we looked at hijab and its symbolic development. Has the social interpretation of hijab led to different reactions across different social and cultural contexts? The research shows that Islamic societies have sometimes gone astray from what the Quran teaches about the hiddenness of women and taken on new conceptions. But has this led to a reinforcement of patriarchy?
