Ruth White is most well-known as a Baha'i who challenged the authenticity of the will of Abdul Baha, the recently deceased former leader of the faith. Most mentions of her life are quite abrupt, giving little to no background from which to form a biography. This article serves to correct that imbalance. | Ruth White is most well-known as a Baha'i who challenged the authenticity of the will of Abdul Baha, the recently deceased former leader of the faith.
