When I was growing up and reading a lot
of Nancy Drew books, I came across one that sent her to Istanbul. It described something like how the people there were wearing a
mix of veils and “Western dress.” So in my head I made up an
image of half of Turkish women in burqas and half in, like, gingham
dresses with aprons and cowboy boots.
That image kept popping back up when I
was in Turkey last summer. I don't think it's quite what the author
meant.
