Clara A. Edge is the author of Tahirih, a novel published in 1964. Her press was Edgeway Publisher in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The subject is Taherih, one of the Letters of the Living of the Bab.
The back cover of the book says:
About the Author: Although she was prevented by ill health from continuing her education at the University of Michigan in the United States, Clara Edge attended Baha'i schools from 1937 until 1953, and later declared, "for my studies and the work I have tried to do for the Faith, I feel that my lack of formal educations has been more than made up at the Baha'i schools. Since the Manifestations of God are the educators of mankind, I would not exchange my Baha'i education (if it were exchangeable) for many degrees."
"Miss Edge's debt to the Baha'i World Faith has been, she feels, repaid just a little by her untiring efforts to lend expression to the faith. Before commencing her work on the biographical story of Tahirih, she contributed a column to a local newspaper in Prescott, Arizona, which was an attempted exposition of the Baha'i belief in the oneness of God and in the oneness of the human race.
She also wrote Haifa Notes, which is featured at the Online Baha'i Library taken during her visit to Haifa in 1954.
Clara A. Edge is buried in a family plot at Fairplains Cemetery, Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan, along with her sister Cora, who was also a Baha'i.
