Talk:Bibi Khanoom Astarabadi

In the interest of civility, I have opened this discussion to try and find consensus on a number of issues that seem to be facing this article. They are in regards to the following:

• This book is considered by some as the first declaration of women's rights in the recent history of Iran. What verifiable source substantiates this?

• This clearly testifies to Bibi Khatoon's wholehearted dedication to the cause of women's education in Iran. Whether it did or didn't, that seems to be the editor's opinion.

• True to her usual style of writing, Bibi Khatoon's tone in this book is derisive. Again, the editor's opinion.

As far as the footnotes go - a lot of them aren't proper sources. This one, for example, is even an example of a footnote that is OR:

• 18. The present writer has consulted neither Ta'deeb al-Nesvan nor Ma'ayeb al-Rejal. Some familiarity with this genre of the literature of the time suggests however that Ta'deeb al-Nesvan may not have been more than a prank by a member of Iran's aristocracy of the time.

Does anyone have an opinion on this? I won't restore the tags until this is discussed, or unless there isn't any meaningful discussion on the topic.
