A Queen Reads the Word: Martha Root and Queen Marie of Romania

A quiet American newspaperwoman, Martha Root, placed the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh and 'Abdu'l-Bahá into the hands of Queen Marie of Romania. The Word so moved the Queen that she became the first reigning monarch to embrace the Faith, and published her testimony to it in newspapers across the world.
