Women were required to wear hats until the mid-60's. Men were required to remove hats (and still do); both were signs of respect; woman's wearing of hats dates back to St. Paul.
Catholic AnswerUp until the Code of Canon Law was updated in 1983, all women were required to cover their heads in Church. Up until the middle of the twentieth century, all women wore a hat if they stepped off their front porch, so this law was hardly necessary. As hats went out of fashion, mantilla's replaced hats so that women, if they were not wearing a hat, covered their head with a veil. And this was not just on Sunday, but any time that you stepped into a Church up until 1983, although I'm sure that the law was largely ignored in the decades between the Second Vatican Council and the new Code. Women are still supposed to cover their heads, they are not longer mandated to do so, so many of them just ignore this, or are totally ignorant of it.

Should women teach men The Bible?
NO, they can not teach or preach. I am sure some of you do not like my answer. However, take a look at what the Bible says: I Cor. 14:34: Let your women keep SILENCE in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. This is very clear and then read verse 35. This would also refer to preaching in the church, not the building but to believers which is the church.
