In last week's article on Bahai.BellaOnline.com, I reviewed the book, "Secret of Divine Civilization," which is a treatise on the state of human civilization and what changes must be made to make the world a better place to live. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art39769.asp

Among the specific guidelines the author labels as necessary to achieve world peace is the emancipation of women. This week's article addresses that topic in a little more detail:

Equality of Women and Men
One of the main principles of the Baha'i Faith is the spiritual equality of women and men, and the need to provide the same rights, privileges and access to education as men currently have, so that women can fully develop their potential, without which there will never be world peace.
