One hundred and fifty years ago, Tahirih stunned Iran and
shocked her fellow believers by removing her veil in the company of men at the
conference of Badasht. This volume is a compilation of historical work
that has been written about her in the years since. It brings together
most of what we know about Tahirih Qurratu'l-'Ayn.
Included is history from Baha'i sources: 'Abdu'l-Baha
and Shoghi Effendi; the work of scholars in India and Pakistan, where Tahirih's work is
well known; and essays by Western scholars, such as E. G. Browne, A.-L.-M.
Nicolas (translated from French), Abbas Amanat, Farzaneh Milani, and
others. Many of these are new research published in this volume for
the first time.
An essential book for anyone interested in Tahirih!
