seclusion (social . . . ) n.: purdah
[Hillary Clinton’s] wild, subversive earnestness has been put on the back burner. She has been in purdah, taken the veil, donned the [robe] of political invisibility, played second string to her husband, and spent her days like a Victorian heroine on some White House couch. (John O’Sullivan, “She’s Baaack!” National Review, 11/10/1997, p. 4.)
