EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the Fiske Seminary for Girls in Urmia, Iran, circa 1900. The seminary, founded by American missionary Fidelia Fiske in October 1843, was a trailblazing institution for girls' education in a region where opportunities for formal education were limited. Fiske's dedication and perseverance led to the growth of the school under her supervision. In this image, a group of young girls, dressed in traditional Iranian attire, sit together on the floor of a classroom. Their focused expressions and engaged postures suggest that they are deeply immersed in their studies. The room is filled with an air of learning and curiosity, as the girls eagerly absorb the knowledge being imparted by their teachers. The Fiske Seminary played a vital role in the education of countless Iranian girls during its existence. Fiske's commitment to providing quality education to girls in Urmia paved the way for future educational opportunities for women in Iran. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of education and the impact that one individual can have on the lives of many. Fidelia Fiske's legacy extends beyond the walls of the Fiske Seminary, as her dedication to education and her unwavering belief in the potential of girls continue to inspire generations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the determination and resilience of the girls who attended the seminary and the enduring impact of Fiske's mission.
