Kemal Ataturk letter

Dear Emily,

Here in Turkey when we go out in public, we wear a veil to cover our face.  The men wear fezzes which are hats with no brims so they can touch there forehead on the ground while praying. When Kemal Ataturk became our new president he banned the wearing of fezzes and veils. But some good things for women did happen too, women could now vote, get jobs in business and government and go to school. This happened because Kemal wanted us to be a modern nation, and in modern nations men and women are treated equal.
