Abstract	:	This work explored the lives of four veiled female Saudi English Language Learners as they progressed through an American university where the programs they studied were delivered in the English language. This population is easily identified and is often met with distrust and fear based on their sartorial choices. The participants were asked to identify how parts of their identities changed and how they maintained other parts. The interviews were analyzed using Islamic Feminism and intersectionality theory to explain how the multiplicity of roles the participants adopted, were impacted by a new culture.
