This biography of Agnes Alexander is a wonderful addition to our library of bios of early Baha'i teachers. It quotes extensively from her letters, depicting the life of a woman who grew up in a missionary family in Hawaii, granddaughter of the some of the earliest protestant missionaries to settle there.
Agnes grew up in this culture, traveling in 1900 to Europe, where she learned about the Baha'i Faith, first from a Mrs. Dixon in Italy, then from May Bolles in Paris. After becoming a Baha'i, she was constantly acting on guidance from her Lord. Back in Hawaii she established a Baha'i community, and later set her sights on Japan, Korea, and China. Thus even before the Tablets of the Divine Plan came to the North American believers, Agnes was already doing the teaching work, together with Martha Root, in those countries.
This a very readable account of her life, and her 70 years of service to the Baha'i Faith, up till her passing on January first, 1971.
