Basically, a veil worn by Muslim woman to cover their facial features.
In Persepolis, Marjane and the other woman in her society are forced to wear the Hijab by the new government. If a woman does not wear a Hijab "police" force, comprised of woman, can unjustifiably arrest and punish her for "breaking" the law. Also, there was an incident where officials proclaimed that a woman's hair can be too sexually attractive to men and must be hidden away.
HOWEVER, I learned that the Hijab is now worn by choice. Muslim woman can now choose to wear the Hijab as a practice of her religion. In addition, a video was shown where the hijab was a fashion style.
