Catholic AnswerPlease see the link below. From the very beginning of the Church (see 1 Corinthians 11:4-16) until the 70's, it was normative for women to cover their heads at Mass, and was enshrined in law in the Code of Canon Law issued in 1917. The Law requiring women to cover their heads was removed in the 1983 Code of Canon Law, about the same time that most people - men and women were going about bareheaded in public, which up until the 1970's was considered scandalous, or at least in very poor taste. Nowadays, Catholic women cover their heads to be respectful in Church, particularly in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. It is considered modest and becoming. Needless to say, a large, overdone hat would not suit this purpose, while a tasteful hat or a chapel veil would.Because they think that women should not show there faces because it is invading there identayes

Back in biblical times, males were dominant over women. Most women were lucky if they could read or write and some people even thought women preaching was a bad thing for the church.
