I believe the black robe is a symbol of freedom. Men will not look at her, will not ‘be tempted’ by her and beneath the robe she is free to wear and be what and whoever she chooses. I thought about what I would do if I lived in such society and I believe that a black robe would be my choice.

Freedom, okay. But then freedom in (or by) seclusion, apart from the rest. She doesn't want to be fully integrated. Until, perhaps, the cook appears.
