Sarah Jane Farmer: Champion of Peace

According to one eyewitness in 1912, 'Abdu'l-Baha reportedly said to Sarah Farmer that she would be revered above all American women one day and wrote that He hoped she would be “the envy of queens of all regions and the rival of the celebrated people of the world."

Who was this remarkable woman, what did she do in her lifetime, and why is she important to the future?

Captivated by Sarah’s vision and inspired by her example, two women collaborate across time to give voice to her story—Bahiyyih Randall Winckler, who conducted interviews and gathered information in the 1940s, and Anne Gordon Perry, who excavated Bahiyyih’s manuscript from archives and added contemporary context, photos, and foreword in 2024.
