“One of the pioneers of the Bahá’í Cause in the Western World”.
Having first embraced the Faith in 1899 she soon afterwards
went to ‘Akká, subsequently visiting many times both ‘Akká and
Haifa for months at a time, learning from and assisting the
Master in translating and transcribing the Teachings. Beloved
by all the members of the Holy Family, her passing in November
1930 at the age of 72 evoked a cabled tribute from Shoghi
Effendi, who knew her well in England and welcomed her in
Haifa after the passing of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. She was the one entrusted
to bring the robe of Bahá’u’lláh to England, and was a member
of the National Assembly from 1923–1927. (“Bahá’í World”,
Vol. IV, p. 263.)
