Ghamar Ariyan

Ghamar Ariyan was an Iranian researcher and author. Mirza Abdolvahhab Aryan, her father, was an intellectual and a powerful figure in the city. He decided to create the first girls' school in Quchan after the birth of his daughter. The school was operated by literate and elite local women who taught the first six grades. Ghamar finished sixth grade there, and her father hired a private instructor to continue her education for another three years because she was exceptionally bright. She subsequently went to an elementary teachers' college in Mashhad for her tenth and eleventh grades, while concurrently teaching sixth grade at a primary school.
