According to SAEDNEWS: quoting Khabar Online, Taj al-Saltaneh, daughter of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, was one of the Shah’s most beloved daughters. Unlike most women of her time—both inside the harem and outside—she lived in a way that made her known in Iranian women's history as an intellectual, a critic, and a fearless figure. She was a supporter of the Constitutional Revolution and a member of the Women's Freedom Association, and she enjoyed writing her memoirs.
