In the Cause of Baha'u'llah there have been women who were superior to men in illumination, intellect, divine virtues and devotion to God. Among them was Qurratu'l- Ayn. When she spoke, she was listened to reverently by the most learned men. They were most respectful in her presence, and none dared to contradict her. Among the Baha'i women in Persia today there are Ruhu'llah and others who are gifted with knowledge, invincible steadfastness, courage, virtue and power of will. They are superior to men and well- known throughout Persia.
