I love hearing about the accomplishments of the early Bahá’í women. It must have been a challenge belonging to a religion NO ONE had heard of back then. Well, most people hadn’t. They accomplished so much in their lives, and many of them got to meet the Master, something I was never able to do, nor even the Guardian. They were a huge inspiration to the early believers, and thank God for all of them, or we wouldn’t be here today to talk about them. BTW, I did join the Faith early enough to meet quite a few people who had met the Master. One very elderly lady, Lucy Marshall, back in the early 60s, used to come to Feast just glowing some 40 years after she had met Him!

So enjoyed this article, as all of yours, but wished you could have detailed 6 and included Laura Barney. She helped start some of the first international peace and justice organizations in the 1890’s.

Thank you so much for this article! I’ve sent it out to many women. It would be great to have a series of [say [ 5 women per month ~ there are so many.

I echo Ms. P-L’s comments below, and add that while I was familiar with Locke and Getsinger, the other women are new to me and I’m glad to know a little about them. This piece will provide a little pandemic consolation to my bride, a lover of the collection of portrayals of heroic Baha’i women called “A Love Which Does Not Wait”. Hers doesn’t, either: she lent the book and it hasn’t returned. Thanks to Ms. Talley for these profiles.
