Assalamalikum All,
Purdha is important for every girl of any century. Lets give an example: there are two sweets thrown in the mud ..one is with the wrapper and the other one without the wrapper. Which one will you prefer to eat.... Answer is obvious.... The one with the wrapper... The girl who is covered ( in purdha ) is the girl who is protected from the evil eye of the people....... I hope this answers the question....
The Importance of Purdah
As we move further away from the time and age of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam, and we approach ever closer to the Day of Judgement, the Muslims are growing more and more weaker in their beliefs and practices. One of which is purdah.
Purdah in Islam is necessary upon every woman who is close to the age of puberty or has reached it.
Many complain that the Hijaab enjoined upon the Muslim women is far too restrictive and rigid and is in order to keep them inferior to men. Ignorance and misunderstanding can only be the cause of such beliefs. Besides Islam which other religions or nations have given homes full protection from exploitation from strangers? While at the same time guides women upon importance of purity and morality as well as upholding her status and dignity.
A woman is likened to a sweet creature everything about her is an attraction for spectators. Islam protects her by enjoining her to wear Hijaab so that covering herself does not attract the swamps of flies and dirty creatures attracted to uncovered sweets as in the cone of today's woman who falls prey to this.
Here I would personaly like to add a beautiful and well known fact that among all the religious sacred places in the world it is only the Islamic Kabbah on which a cover is layed for showing great respect ,
among all the religious and holy books in the world, it is only the Quran which is covered for and with great respect,
and finally among the followers of all religions, it is only the Muslim woman who cover themselves / wear the veil for and with great respect.
So, we should not think of it a burden, since its an honour for us.

Why rather a possibility
Sure, it is important for Muslims and non-Muslims, for males and females, and for the rich and the poor.
It was important to the Muslims because 732AD was the year of the battle of the tours.
It is important for the West that Muslims split to weaken them and get better control on their resources.
Education is important for Muslims and non Muslims. Per Islam teachings, educated Muslims are more rewarded than uneducated.

The Ka'abah is still important to the Muslims. It is the Symbolic House of Almighty Allah. The Muslims face it while offering their prayers.
