Add to basketYou have a remarkable gift for narration, and since Babi and Baha’i histories are full of marvelous episodes, sacrifices, and miraculous deeds, they provide great opportunities for writing fascinating narratives. I think you should not ignore your great gift in this field.
—Ehsan Yarshater, Columbia University
You and Hillary have created a masterpiece that will be a very special book for hundreds of years to come. ... The depth of your research is amazing. The rich details, both of Tahirih and her American contemporaries is unequaled. ... I will simply say your research and writing is extraordinary.
—Dorothy Nelson
This is a book of tears and laughter, yet factual and rich with insightful historical, social and psychological analysis. It brings to life mesmerizing but forgotten stories of the 18th-19th century heroines of America and their contemporary Tahirih, a martyred woman of Persia—their spiritual ecstasy and zeal, high-mindedness, courageous undertakings, unwavering faith, and steadfastness. Through the power their pen, or by passionate public speeches, these women introduced novel humanitarian discourses and altered, globally and permanently, the public opinion about their gender; and they did so at a time when the female gender was not allowed to be visible or heard in the public sphere, valued only for “passivity, emotionality, and physical weakness.”
—Amrollah Hemmat
Championing women’s rights has become more important in recent weeks since the US Presidential election, and you might think the fight for female justice started in the 1960’s, or perhaps after WWI when Women’s Suffrage was pushed forward. But you’d be wrong. And we have Hussein Ahdieh and Hillary Chapman to thank for writing a comprehensive narrative of two simultaneous struggles for women’s rights, both of which started in the mid-19th century. One of them is known by an early meeting in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848 and the other began in Persia (now Iran) in the 1840’s.
