I don't know what to suggest.  My kids never nursed under a cover.  They 
just wouldn't have any part of it from day 1.  It is really hard when 
your community isn't supportive.  Would it help her to attend a local 
LLL meeting or other breastfeeding support so she can find a community 
of like minded individuals?

I have found that you can rarely change the opinion of others, so I 
always nurse(ed) unabashedly with a "I dare you to say anything" look on 
my face and haven't been harassed by a stranger.  Extended family has 
given me grief over the years, but I just ignore them.

I think knowing you aren't alone can give you lots of courage to 
continue what feels right.
