Hazel Scott was a champion for civil and women’s rights. Born in Trinidad in 1920, she moved with her family to the United States in 1924. She was a musical wonder— studying and performing on the piano from the time she was a child. She became an accomplished singer as well, and appeared in Broadway musicals, films, and recorded her own albums. She also made headlines by standing up for the rights of women and African Americans, and she refused to play for segregated audiences. When Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the March on Washington, Hazel led a march in Paris, where she was living, in front of the American Embassy. She learned about the Bahá’í Faith from Dizzy Gillespie and became a Bahá’í on December 1, 1968. She passed away in 1981.
We invite you to learn more about this “Change Maker” and the enduring impact she had on race relations through her performing arts.

Review This Product
A groundbreaking book about the direct relationship between a woman's rights and freedoms and the economic prosperity of her country. This books looks at a variety of widespread, global issues related to gender inequality – such as violence against women, education, women and work, the role of culture – and analyzes the economic impact of the continued disempowerment and devaluation of women and their contributions at all levels of society. Although the Bahá’í Faith and its teachings are not specifically discussed in this book, the findings presented within are inspired by the Bahá’í belief in the fundamental equality of women and men.

The Calling
by Hussein Ahdieh and Hillary Chapman describes Tahirih in a fresh, new
manner, juxtaposing and interweaving her life and work with that of her
American contemporaries—women whose existence she was probably not aware
of, but who shared with her a spiritual bond and vision of progress and
justice.

Review This Product
"All should know. Women and men have been and will always be equal in the sight of God." -Bahá'u'lláh
The equality of women and men is one of the basic tenets of the Bahá'í Faith, and much is said on the subject in the Baha'i writings. Until now, however, no single volume created for a general audience has provided comprehensive coverage of the Bahá'í teachings on this topic and its many aspects. In this broad survey husband and wife team Janet and Peter Khan address even those aspects of equality of the sexes that are usually ignored or glossed over in the existing literature.
