Here are a few ideas on the veil by R.C. Young from his book Postcolonialism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford UP, 2003).
1. A handout that I designed to spark discussion for Persepolis: Globo-Veil-Young
2. Five images that are as interesting as they are confusing: 5Veil-Pics-Eng2000-2013
3. A fairly good Wikipedia entry on the veil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil
4. An academic book with a collection of essay on the veil: The Veil: Women Writers on Its History, Lore, and Politics, edited by Jennifer Heath
