Also, in her book, Tahereh and the American Women’s Movement, she writes that property rights were one of the first rights granted to women in most of the United States, but women did not exercise the right to vote until August 7, 1919. As Stanton says:

Compare this to what Tahereh said moments before her martyrdom:
“You can kill me whenever you want, but you can not stop the women’s liberation movement.” In my opinion, Tahereh Qara Al-Ain and Elizabeth Kiddy Stanton were two spiritual sisters with the same message from two different poles of the world.
Tahereh’s spiritual influence on me was so deep that after studying and reviewing the Baha’i works, I converted to this religion, and at the same time with myself.
