Featured in: Our Story Is One: The Persecution of Baha'is in Iran
June 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
This talk, produced by Bahaiteachings.org, tells the story of Tahirih, 19th-Century Iran’s most courageous woman, who removed her veil, defying cultural customs, to announce that a new culture of equality had dawned.

How then does one relate the Greatest Holy Leaf to the idea of “ bold action”? I think the West takes a lot of meaning from “bold” that may have less to do with the strength of spirit pointed to than in the eyes of the beholder. I could say the Leaf’s life was one of bold but quite action. No outward dramatic demonstrations and misunderstandings. And nothing like passivity. What high standard rises from the life of the Greatest Holy Leaf, the greatest station any woman has this dispensation?
