Florence Conway's interest in the status and advancement of women has extended over many decades. Living in a diversity of cultures and travelling extensively has enabled her to observe at close range the prevailing conditions and influences on women's lives in a variety of settings. Her passion is apparent in speaking or writing about the vision she holds about the future place of women on our planet. In this volume the passion comes through as she speaks directly to women urging, enabling and empowering them to don the mantle of catalysts of change. In her early adult life, Conway searched diligently for a satisfying spiritual path and found the Baha'i Faith. Her many years as a Bah '¡ eventually led to her serving at the Baha'i World Centre in Haifa, Israel.
