Fatima Mernissi and the Veil

I once asked Fatima Mernissi: why do you have the word "veil" in titles of your books. She told me: don't blame me.  French publishers like to insert the word "harem" in the titles of my books and US publishers like to insert the word "veil" in the title.  Sure enough, her book in French "Le Harem Politique" was published in the US as "The Veil and the Male Elite".
