- There are many instances in the Leftist newspaper The Guardian of
feminists defending the burka – see “So much for the sisterhood”, The
Guardian, 13 Oct 2006,
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2006/oct/13/whathappenedtosisterhood1
and “Full-face veils aren’t barbaric – but our response can be”, The

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/17/full-face-veil-
not-barbaric-debate-muslim-women/. In 2013, the “Conservative” woman

“Wearing veil should be the woman’s choice, says Theresa May”, The
Guardian, 17 Sept 2013,
