abstract noteArgues that the Bahá'í goal of achieving equality of women and men cannot be achieved merely by trying to advance the position of women in society. Rather, a much more radical change is needed to produce a more "feminine" society. At present power is perhaps the highest social value. It is therefore the basis for judgments about an individual's worth and status. The Bahá'í Faith teaches that we must work towards a society with different values in which service and cooperation are more highly regarded. This has implications for understanding some of the other Bahá'í teachings such as refraining from partisan politics.
