Pretty broad brush you got goin' there... What you described is most certainly NOT the case in the three major "groups" of Judaism (Reform, Conservative and Orthodox). It is most certainly NOT the case in Israel...

In the USA, married ultra conservative, orthodox, and Lubavitcher Jewish women keep their heads covered outside the home - usually wearing wigs. Unmarried adult women also cover their heads, usually with a scarf.

Correct. But that is also the norm worldwide for those groups, not just in the US...
