Motherhood - A Baha'i Perspective
Abdu'l-Bahá states the importance of the education of girls and the station of motherhood in even stronger terms:
If it be considered through the eye of reality, the training and culture of daughters is more necessary than that of sons, for these girls will come to the station of motherhood and will mould the lives of the children. The first trainer of the child is the mother. The babe, like unto a green and tender branch, will grow according to the way it is trained. If the training be right, it will grow right, and if crooked, the growth likewise, and unto the end of life it will conduct itself accordingly.
One last item. This link will take you to a site that presents an introduction by this mother's son of the influence Abdu'l-Bahá had on his mother. It is worth taking a look, in my opinion. http://www.worldmerge.com/stories/
