N1  - Hear Tahirih speak for herself and proclaim her Cause in ways triumphant, spiritual, and sometimes heartbreaking.

Tahirih’s poems are well known among Persian Baha’is, but until now there has been no suitable translation of her work that would give English-speaking readers a sense of her genius. Now Amin Banani, Professor Emeritus at UCLA in Persian history and literature; Jascha Kessler, Professor of English at UCLA; and Anthony A.
