From
the Back Cover --
Tahirih is a young,
uneducated but highly curious woman living in late nineteenth century
Persia where 90% of the population, both male and female, do not know
how to read or write. This is her story -- as a wife, a mother, a
daughter, a supervisor of other women, yet most importantly, as herself,
awakening to her own perceptions of
the world around her. She must deal with overwhelming personal choices,
and her dilemmas are reflective of issues most women have faced, both
then and now. Tahirih must decide how to blend her own needs with those
of others, how to choose in seemingly impossible situations, and most of
all, how to keep going when it seems the world has battered her down too
far.
