Immerse yourself in the fascinating story of Tahirih Qurratu'l-Ayn, a 19th-century Iranian poet and theologian who defied the conventions of her time. In 'The Woman Who Read Too Much', Bahiyyih Nakhjavani transports us to Tehran, where the Shah's court is shaken by the appearance of this woman whose revolutionary ideas sweep the country. Intelligent, beautiful, and erudite, Tahirih dared to proclaim female dignity and to educate women, confronting religious and political powers. Her courage made her a legend, a symbol of freedom of expression and women's rights.
Bahiyyih Nakhjavani is an Iranian writer who grew up in Uganda in the 1960s. She was educated at Dr Williams School, Dolgellau, United Kingdom and the United States. She taught European and American literature in Belgium, and later moved to France, where she teaches.
