"All should know…Women and men have been and will always be equal in the sight of God." — Bahá’u’lláh The equality of women and men is one of the basic tenets of the Bahá’í Faith, and much is said on the subject in the Bahá’í writings. Until now, however, no single volume created for a general audience has provided comprehensive coverage of the Bahá’í teachings on this topic and its many aspects. In this broad survey husband and wife team Janet and Peter Khan address eve those aspects of equality of the sexes that are usually ignored or glossed over in the existing literature. Tactfully treating a subject that often provokes argumentation, contention, polarization of attitudes, and accusations, the authors elevate the discussion to a new level that challenges all while offending none.
