Tertullian, 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.”

“But, withal, the declaration is plain: "Every woman," saith he, "praying and prophesying with head uncovered, dishonoureth her own head." What is "every woman, but woman of every age, of every rank, of every condition? By saying" every" he excepts nought of womanhood, just as he excepts nought of manhood either from not being covered; for just so he says, "Every man.”
