Tahirih: Forerunner of Women's Liberation in the East by Hussein Ahdieh describes Tahirih (Qurrat al-'Ayn), the trailblazing female nineteenth century Iranian poet, theologian and religious-revolutionary leader in a fresh, new manner. In 1852 she was executed by a state fearful of her message. Her last words were "You can kill me as soon as you like, but you cannot stop the emancipation of women."
