ROB, the truth hurts. There were no nisyonos for women to keep their heads covered in Europe — they just did not want to. The same goes for Shabbos (in Europe — not in America)and Tahoras Mishpochah.
Plus, I am a ba’al teshuvah. Don’t tell me about nisyonos!! And my immediate ancestors did not help me — just the opposite (except for some zechus Avos a couple of doros before).
