5.0

As much a book about the Babi religion and the emancipation of women worldwide as the story of Tahirih herself, this is a wonderful introduction to the life of this 19th century heroine. Even having heard and read stories about her before, there was much in this book that I did not know. It gives so much context to both her writings and her life.
