Muhammad Hasan Jan was a grandson of Abdur Rahman Khan by his father.
In 1919, her brother succeeded to the throne, and launched a radical modernization of Afghanistan.
This change was supported by the king's mother, [1] and his queen Soraya Tarzi and his sisters acted as role models by unveiling, adopting Western fashion and taking on public roles.
In 1929, however, her brother was deposed and exiled, and his reforms in favor of women's rights were reverted, resulting in women returning to purdah for another twenty years.
