ملك زمان شاهسون اينانلو- بوئين زهراى قزوين -آذربايجان

Malek-e Zaman was the daughter of Nematollah Khan and Princess Manijeh Qajar. She went on to marry Abdolmajid Shahrdar, a young military officer in Reza Shah's newly reorganized army. She also inherited much of her family-owned villages in Bo'in Zahra region of Ghazveen that was eventually taken away from her by Mohammad Reza Shah's Land Reform ( Eslahateh Arzi) during the White Revolution. It was very common for her villagers and Katkhodahs (village headman) to visit her at her house for resolution of disputes. She would also inspect her villages frequently on horseback to see the condition of her villagers firsthand.

Malek-e Zaman was widowed when she was a very young woman, yet her fortitude in leading her family and managing her family's posessions during a very difficult period in Iran's history (World War II etc.) is a testament to the strength of Iranian women and her noble linage.

Sadly the villages at Bo'in Zahra were hard-hit by the recent earthquackes in Iran.
