Why Cover?
For millennia, women all over the world have covered their heads, for a variety of reasons. Here are a few views I like on this subject.

EASTERN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN: On Account of the Angels: Why I Cover My Head by Elisabet
MUSLIM: “[Wearing the headscarf] was an impulse more spiritual than religious; hijab lent itself to my purpose, rather than I to its. Having read the relevant verses of Quran and hadith, as well as the arguments of major scholars, I remain unconvinced that hijab is fard, or obligatory, as opposed to sunnah, preferred.” — G. Willow Wilson, from her memoir The Butterfly Mosque, page 99
