# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Zaynab was born around 626, the eldest daughter of Fatima and Ali ibn Abi Talib, placing her at the heart of early Islam's most prominent family. Her father became the fourth caliph and first Shia imam; her grandfather was the Prophet himself. In 680, at the Battle of Karbala, Umayyad caliph Yazid's forces massacred her brother Husayn and nearly all the men with him. Zaynab survived as a captive, taken first to Kufa and then to Damascus with the other women and children. There, in the capital of her family's enemies, she delivered impassioned public speeches that condemned Yazid and broadcast the atrocity. She was eventually freed and died in 682, though where she is buried remains uncertain. Two shrines in Damascus and Cairo both claim her, and both draw pilgrims still.
