This video tells the story of Tahirih, the original Middle Eastern champion of feminism and female emancipation, who removed her veil and began to remove the centuries-old oppression of women. Tahirih defied cultural customs to announce that a new culture of equality had dawned. Her sacrifice, which ultimately meant she lost her life, became the blueprint for a new era of equality and justice.
