Description
From the upcoming book, 'Hosts of the Seen and the Unseen' by Shirin Sabri, and the story, 'A Lioness in Tihran': A wise Mulla in Isfahan, Persia, who was attracted to the teachings of the Faith of the Bab (forerunner of Baha'u'llah) in his youth, allowed his daughter, Fa'izih, to be educated and become fully literate and able to express herself fluently. She recognized the urgent need for the education of women and girls in Persia, This was in the early 1900's, and she and some Baha'i women from America helped establish some of the first schools for girls, as well as educating women of all backgrounds. One of the women was an American doctor who came to work in the hospital in Tihran, and this was the first time the women of Tihran had access to proper medical care.
