After enduring the abuse for several years she was rescued in 1920 by the head of the women's department of the Fergana Regional Party Committee, who helped her leave the marriage and attend school.

In 1924 after completing training at the women's department of the Kokand city committee she became an instructor there; that year, having been invited to speak at the Komsomol Congress in Moscow at the Bolshoi theater, she braved removing her face-veil in public for the first time to stand at the podium and address the crowd.

That year received her first state award, the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, and travelled to Moscow to attend a three-year course for executives; upon completion of it in 1933 she was assigned as head of the political department of a Machine tractor station.

Eventually she returned to the Uzbek SSR and founded a winery sovkoz[check spelling] named after Usman Yusupov in the Ferghana valley, which she became director of in 1958.

Some time after she died in January 1981 the sovkoz[check spelling] she founded and directed was renamed in her honor, and several streets in the Uzbek SSR were named after her.
