Abstract

[Around the turn of the twentieth century, several Western women of prominence journeyed to Acre, Palestine, to visit Abbas Effendi—known as ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, a spiritual leader born in Persia and the son of the prophet founder of the Bahá’í Faith, Bahá’ u’llá h. After Bahá’ u’llá h’s passing in 1892 and according to his Will and Testament, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was appointed as his successor, the head of the Bahá’í Faith, and the authorized interpreter of his father’s writings. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá had been exiled and imprisoned with Bahá’u’lláh and the rest of his family in the Ottoman Empire from 1853 to 1908. He was still a prisoner in Ottoman Palestine when the first Bahá’í pilgrims from the Western world arrived. Most of the women became devotees and active promoters of his teachings. They were from the United States, the British Isles, and France.]
