The Hijab question

Is hijab/burqa the only way to assert ones identity? Is there no better way of showing ones pride of being a muslim than to just become conspicuous in the veil? In the process of making a political statement, the muslim women should not end up being backward looking. Their identity is certainly needed but not necessarily in burqa. Excelling in their chosen fields and making the nation proud is one good way of asserting their identity.
A muslim woman without burqa should not be made out to be any lesser muslim.
