Summary/Abstract: The process of emancipation of muslim woman is a part of the extensive problems and trends in the modern history in Bosnia and Herzegovina and it is related to the “disappearing” of the national dress, this process, as the main style of clothing began in 1878 and it remained until the 1945. Wearing veil (covering head and face of a woman) was related to the religions and social regulations of a muslim community in a which a woman had a special role, that is why taking off veils had more profound historic sense than it was in the case with the departure from the old styles of clothing among our people.
