Dear Zohra,
I'm happy you've found a style of dress that you feel is appropriate.

Talk about anti-climatic. Although I can't really think of a better alternative other than her responding to say "Wow, I have never read anything like that! I showed my editor and now you have your pick of jobs at the Post. Well, except for editing." ;-)
I fought the Power and the Power gave me a one-line acknowledgment.
Not bad for a day's work.

Well, it's better than the usual response you get from women like that who can't deal with modest / conservative women who dare speak up or call them on their animosity towards us... -- UZ
Considering her tone in the article - her response is not surprising. But one can always hope for a "You know, I'm such an ignorant, self-consumed person - I never thought of it like that. Thank you for opening my eyes, and helping me see that the world isn't moulded by my pea-sized brain."
- my mind has no filter at this late hour
