In seminal studies and current discussions on the states of cultural capital, specifically the embodied state or habitus, Muslims in general and Muslim women in particular, have been ignored. This phenomenological study explores the relationship between Muslim women's religious, cultural, familial and individual habitus and the historical and current--post 9/11--national habitus of the U.S.A., and how this post 9/11 national habitus of anti-Muslim sentiment and Islamophobia affects U.S. American Muslim women, specifically those wearing the Islamic headscarf (hijab). The results of this empirical study highlight the Islamic religious worldview and diversity among the participants; however, it aims to underscore the influence that the current national habitus has on these Muslim women who are born and reared in the U.S.A. The author offers her findings to increase higher education faculty and administrators', and the general public's understanding of Muslim women and how their lives may have changed after 9/11. The equitable treatment, social acceptability, and professional opportunities of Muslim women who wear the hijab have already proven to be both minor challenges and major obstacles for some within mainstream society.
