Effie Baker was an extraordinary woman who spent over 6 months travelling through Persia in 1930, during a period when women in that country had very few rights.

This presentation explores some of the incredible achievements of this little-known person and will, hopefully, highlight this very humble woman’s many unsung sacrifices.

I came across the story of Effie Baker a few years ago when I became a member of The Bahá’í Faith.

I discovered that she had travelled through Persia in 1930 as an amateur photographer and had to conceal herself from the authorities to secretly take over 1000 photos and then to get the prints out of Persia; I have managed to gain access to a number of these and will share them in this presentation.
