They are most eloquent, and speak before large gatherings of people.
Women must go on advancing; they must extend their knowledge of science, literature, history, for the perfection of humanity.
Erelong they will receive their rights.

Men will see women in earnest, bearing themselves with dignity, improving the civil and political life, opposed to warfare, demanding suffrage and equal opportunities.

I expect to see you advance in all phases of life; then will your brows be crowned with the diadem of eternal glory.
Women and the New Age When woman's point of view receives due consideration and woman's will is allowed adequate expression in the arrangement of social affairs, we may expect great advancement in matters which have often be grievously neglected under the old regime of male dominance--such matters as health, temperance, peace, and regard for the value of the individual life.
Improvements in these respects will have very far-reaching and beneficent effects.

'Abdu'l-Baha says:-- The world in the past has been ruled by force, and man has dominated over woman by reason of his more forceful and aggressive qualities both of body and mind.

But the balance is already shifting; force is losing its dominance, and mental alertness, intuition, and the spiritual qualities of love and service, in which woman is strong, are gaining ascendancy.
