…the Greatest Holy Leaf… [was] elevated by Him [Baha’u’llah]
to a "station such as none other woman hath surpassed," and
comparable in rank to those immortal heroines such as Sarah, Asiyih, the Virgin
Mary, Fatimih and Tahirih, each of whom has outshone every member of her sex in
previous Dispensations. - Shoghi Effendi (God Passes By)
