...in the sight of Bahá, women are accounted the same as
men, and God hath created all humankind in His own image, and after His own
likeness. That is, men and women alike are the revealers of His names and
attributes, and from the spiritual viewpoint there is no difference between
them. Whosoever draweth nearer to God, that one is the most favoured, whether
man or woman....
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
