Thanks. Was looking for this photo-devolution - Women in Cairo: Troubling Photo History

Here are serious signs of the way of all flesh in Egypt, from 1959 (left) to 2004 (right).

I remembered this series of troubling photos reflecting the growing influence of Sharia Law away from the modern western customs that were once a strong part of Egypt just 50 years ago. Fanaticism has struck!

Women in Cairo: Troubling Photo History | Be John Galt

As you can see, despite the size of the picture, the female graduates in 1959 and 1978 had bare arms, wore short sleeved blouses, dresses, or pants, and were both bare-faced and bare-headed. By 1995, we see a smattering of headscarves—and by 2004 we see a plurality of female university graduates in serious hijab: Tight, and draping the shoulders.

Go to the post and see this amazing series of class photos from Cairo Univ. over the last few decades.
