Baha'i Founders and Forerunners

Founders and forerunner figures of the Baha'i Faith, including a woman poet and theologian who broke with veiling convention to proclaim the new religious dispensation associated with the Bab, becoming one of the new movement's most prominent and ultimately martyred early voices, and the great-grandson of the Baha'i Faith's founder Baha'u'llah, who was appointed Guardian of the Faith as a young man, translated and interpreted its core texts, and shaped its administrative order and worldwide expansion for over three decades in the twentieth century.
