abstract note	Tahirih (1817–1852) – also known by the names and titles of Fāṭima, Umm-i Salmih, Zakiyya, Zarrīn-Tāj and Qurrat al-ʿAyn – is best remembered by history for the removal of her veil before an assembled gathering of her co-religionists in the small village of Badasht in northern Persia in the summer of 1848. Executed in the prime of her life for her deeds as much as her words, Tahirih was a dynamic revolutionary, an eloquent speaker, a gifted poet, a prolific scholar and “the first [Persian] woman to preach equality of the sexes and religious freedom”. Although she was not directly involved in advocating women’s suffrage, through proclaiming the advent of a new religion and transcending cultural constraints and by the central role she played in the Conference at Badasht, Tahirih helped usher in a revolutionary transformation in human society.
