A biography of a largely unknown yet important woman in world religious history-the eldest daughter of Baha'u'llah, founder of the Baha'i religion-who faithfully served her family and the early followers of a then completely new faith through nearly seven decades of extreme hardship. During the mid nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when women in the Middle East were largely invisible, deprived of education, and without status in their communities, she was an active participant in the religion's turbulent early years and contributed significantly to its emergence as an independent world religion. The example of her life and her remarkable personal qualities, have special relevance to issues confronting society today.
