Meet Nazi Paikidze, the current reigning US women's chess champion. A world chess tournament is being held in Iran later this year but there is a strict Islamic dress code that compels ALL women to wear the hijab.
Standing on her principles to not support the state-directed subjugation of women, she is boycotting one of the most important tournaments of her career.
Good for her!
