Clement of Alexandria, on 1Cor 11:5

“But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.”

“And she will never fall, who puts before her eyes modesty, and her shawl; nor will she invite another to fall into sin by uncovering her face. For this is the wish of the Word, since it is becoming for her to pray veiled.”
