Reminds me of the German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen, who visited Saudi-Arabia in December and was asked to wear a headscarf when meeting with the Saudi men.

After which she replied: "I will certainly not wear a headscarf plus I'll choose my own clothing."

Stunt.

It's certainly a stunt in Le Pen's case, and I don't know about this German minister, but I certainly have a lot of respect for women who choose to make this stand against oppression and downgrading of women.
