...it is incumbent upon the girls of this glorious era to be
fully versed in the various branches of knowledge, in sciences and the arts and
all the wonders of this pre-eminent time, that they may then educate their
children and train them from their earliest days in the ways of perfection.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Women)
