Full Transcript:


Who was she? Podcast will focus on the stories of women throughout history that were active in the Baha’i Faith. This season is about Zaynab. She was a 19th-century village girl from Persia, now Iran in the early history of the Bahai Faith who fought for religious freedom.


There is little information known about Zaynab but her bravery and sacrifice inspired many to follow in her footsteps.


When a new faith began in 1844 in present-day Iran, there were many attempts to end it. We will learn about the siege of Zanjan, one of the most violent and devastating battles in this new Faith’s history and about one of their most fearless warriors, Zaynab.


She disguised herself as a man to fight in the front lines. It was written that, “No man has shown himself capable of such vitality and courage.”

In the book, God Passes By by Shoghi Effendi, Guardian of the Baha’i Faith, He wrote,

“The resourcefulness and incredible audacity of Zaynab, a village maiden, who, fired with an irrepressible yearning to throw in her lot with the defenders of the Fort, disguised herself in male attire, cut off her locks, girt a sword about her waist, rushed headlong in pursuit of the assailants, and who, disdainful of food and sleep, continued, during a period of five months, in the thick of the turmoil, to animate the zeal and to rush to the rescue of her men companions ...these stand out as the highlights of this bloody contest.”


So please subscribe and learn more about this amazing woman who fought so bravely and inspired many.
