Venus Enayati chants Tahirih's poem in Persian

Venus Enayati chants Tahirih's poem in Persian.

Táhirih (1814 or 1817 – August 16–27, 1852), a famous Baha’i poet, was probably best remembered for unveiling herself in an assemblage of men during the Conference of Badasht. The unveiling caused a great deal of controversy and the Báb named her Táhirih (meaning “the Pure One”) to show his support for her. She was soon arrested and placed under house arrest in Tehran. A few years later in mid-1852, she was executed in secret on account of her Bábí Faith. As a prominent Bábí (she was the seventeenth disciple or “Letter of the Living” of the Báb) she is highly regarded by Baha’is and often mentioned in Baha’i literature an example of courage in the struggle for women’s rights. Her date of birth is uncertain, as birth records were destroyed at her execution.
Her poems were translated by the various authors found in this volume.
