Maryam Khanoom!


Her silver shiny hair, her slim body and her proud smile; She had piercing eyes and a firm voice. She was borne a Qajar princess; she revolted against all her monarchal genes and became the Maryam Khanoom that I know.

Maryam Firouz passed away two days ago at her house in the north bound of Hafte Tir Square. Her loving body was urgently buried in a family cemetery. No ceremony was allowed. She was 95.

you know tameshk jan , this lady had very complicated character .she came from aritocratcy . her father (abdol hossin khan) was one of the most powerful and richest people in Iran and her family were one of HEZAR FAMIL . but Maryam Firouz left them and married with Communist party 's head leader and stay on her belief all the life . this is very admirable.
