Did women in biblical times wear veils?

[Justin]

I've been talking with my Pastor about uncut/cut/magic hair for a few months, and he recently gave me an article supporting uncut and magic hair. And in it, the writer states that:

"Women generally did not wear veils. In fact, it was normally prostitutes (i.e. Tamar) who wore veils in the Old Testament. The present eastern practice of women wearing veils comes from the Muslims, not from the early Christians or Jews."

I always though that if a women did not wear a veil (especially in the OT) they were considered immodest.

Any thoughts?
