TAHIRIH
A member of the persecuted Bahá'í Faith, Tahirih traveled throughout Persia, organizing women in towns and
empowering them to reject their oppressed Status. She was stoned in the streets
and banished from town to town, but never relented in her struggle for the
freedom of women. At a meeting with the most notable religious scholars of her
day, Tahirih publicly removed her veil as a demonstration of the freedom and
equality of women. The sight of her plain face caused such horror and shock
that one man slit his own throat. Others unsheathed their swords and attempted
to kill her. A pioneer for women's rights, bold, and impetuous, Tahirih
denounced the evils of her day, declaring...
"You can kill me as soon as you like, but you cannot stop the emancipation
of women"
Tahirih was
martyred for her beliefs at the age of 35 in 1852.
