Not so! The women sit behind a "Mechitzah" (screen of crossed wood
strips)
The women can look through the spaces between the wood strips, and see the
men quite clearly, that is why the men walk around and toss their
prayer-shawls around their shoulders.
But all the men can see of the women, are shadows.
