the society of mid 19th Century Persia, any higher learning was reserved
for men. Most women had no access to higher education and women were
excluded from the public domains of discourse. Yet even after becoming
a wife and mother, Táhirih busied herself in libraries and classes,
with writing and public speaking. She challenged some of the most learned
scholars of her time, carrying out lengthy conversations and in every
instance defeating them. |
