Editor’s Note: Stories of Tahirih are timely as Baha’is around the world are preparing for the October 2019 celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Birth of the Bab, the Herald of the Baha’i Faith. In 19th century Persia, the Bab called for spiritual and moral reform.  The Bab’s earliest 18 followers are called the “Letters of the Living.” Tahirih is the 17th and the only woman among them.
