Concerning the point you raised in your letter ... that the
women's liberation movement in ... is assuming extreme positions which are
having some influence on impressionable Bahá'í young women, we feel it would be
helpful if your Assembly were to stress the unique position that women occupy
by being members of the Bahá'í Faith particularly through participation in the
administration of its affairs on both a local and national scale.
