"Susan Ossman lets us hear women's hopes for beauty and difference--out of or under the head shawl--in Casablanca, Cairo, and Paris. What a pleasure to linger in these beauty shops, where talk, the snipping scissors, and Egyptian songs help open the door to modernity. A delightful and insightful read."--Natalie Zemon Davis, Princeton University
