A traveller account of Hindu woman vs Mahometan woman 4 centuries ago
"Hindu Women go with their faces uncovered, and are freely seen by everyone both at home and abroad. Nevertheless they are modest, and honored much more then the Mahometans; and amongst them 'tis a certain thing that there is not any public Courtesan; but amongst the Mahometan Women there are infinite, who go every day publicly to houses, and where they please; to play Music, sing, dance, and do what else belongs to their profession. But of these things enough for this time."
