Uppity but not too uppity, you might say.

Guardian | Police in Tehran ordered to arrest women in 'un-Islamic' dress: "Young women shopping in north Tehran's fashionable Tajrish neighbourhood yesterday, however, were uncowed. Matin, 24, a nurse, was wearing a gaudily patterned light-blue head scarf pushed back to reveal sunglasses and bleached blond hair. Her tight, short black manteau with intricate gold patterns seemed designed to provoke the ire of the authorities. But she was unrepentant. 'I'm a married woman and it should be my husband who tells me what and what not to wear. He likes the way I dress,' she said."
