This is momentous for the average Gorean woman, as it would not be for the average woman of Earth. - (Kajira of Gor, Chapter 26, Sentence #237)

In mentioning these things, one might also call to mind an aspect of these matters which is cultural to the Goreans, but is likely to overlooked by those not familiar with their culture. It is as follows: The Gorean free woman is commonly veiled in public. Indeed, one of the fearful things that can occur to her, if she is captured or enslaved, is that she is likely to be "face-stripped," as the saying is, that the delicacy of her facial beauty will be revealed, that her features will be disrobed, literally exposed to public view. This is momentous for the average Gorean woman, as it would not be for the average woman of Earth. The average woman of Earth doubtless finds this an interesting cultural oddity, but it is of enormous significance, I assure you, for the average Gorean woman. Indeed, many Goreans, learning that most women of Earth, on their native world, go about unveiled, infers that they are all shameless slaves courting a collar in which they should be rightfully placed. This observation then, I suspect, sheds some additional light, at least from the Gorean point of view, on the raised-head position of the pleasure slave, namely, that her features are publicly, blatantly displayed. - (Kajira of Gor)
