Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head. … For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

—St. Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians 11:4–7

We can see the educated man’s daughter, as she issues from … the private house, and stands on the bridge which lies between the old world and the new, and asks, as she twirls the sacred coin in her hand, “What shall I do with it? What do I see with it?” … Let us … lay before you a photograph … of your world as it appears … through the shadow of the veil that St. Paul still lays upon our eyes; from the bridge which connects the private house with the world of public life.

—Woolf, Three Guineas
