ciple of the equality between women and men, like the
other...

The principle of the equality between women and men, like the other
teachings of the Faith, can be effectively and universally established
among the friends when it is pursued in conjunction with all the other
aspects of Baha'i life. Change is an evolutionary process requiring
patience with one's self and others, loving education and the passage of
time as the believers deepen their knowledge of the principles of the
Faith, gradually discard long-held traditional attitudes and progressively
conform their lives to the unifying teachings of the Cause.

(25 July 1984 to an individual believer) [121]

1 This Tablet was addressed to one Mrs. Pocohontas in Washington.
According to Fadil Mazandarani, the recipient of the Tablet was a
black woman. See "Tari-i-Zuhuu'l-Haq", vol. 8, part 2, p. 1209
(Tihran: Baha'i Publishing Trust, 132 B.E.). Additional information
provided by the Archives of the National Spiritual Assembly of the
United States indicates that Mr. Louis Gregory, in a history of the
Washington, D.C. Baha'i community, mentions a black Baha'i, Mrs.
Pocohontas Pope, who is likely the same person. Mrs. Pope learned of
the Baha'i Faith through Alma and Fanny Knobl
