Why don't women need to wear headdresses in Church anymore?

[MegMessinger]

Hello,
In the New American Bible, 1 Corinthians 3-12 talks how woman should wear head veils when they pray for her head unveiled brings shame upon her head. Why do we not wear head veils in Church in America?
Thank You,
Meg
