The problem with your post Julie, is that many women don't want to wear what they are told to & neither do their husbands want them to... it is the religion that does. They are afraid not to wear what they are told for fear of the consequences!
Even if they could find a few Emmeline Pankhursts in their midst, do you really believe that would give them the courage to risk harm so they could wear what they want?
I have read many reports that say Saudi women, forced to wear the black cloaks, were often naked underneath..... as a form of protest, but they wouldn't have survived if anyone had seen them naked!
The women you know have been conditioned to remain covered & are probably afraid and embarrassed to say they don't like it.
Ask yourself , how many women would choose to wear long black cloaks( which retain the heat owing to the colour!) in temperatures of over 40 degrees C.? They have to in Saudi!
You cannot speak for Islam based on the relatively few you have met in the UK, because the law in the UK would punish many of their actions.... if the women had the courage to report them! Sadly they don't have that courage.
