Hosn Jahan Khanum

Hosn Jahan Khanom (Persian: حسن جهان خانم), also known as Valiyeh (Persian: والیه, lit. 'female governor'), was the 21st daughter of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar from Sonbol Baji, a beloved and respected consort of the shah. She was the mother of Reza Qoli Khan Ardalan.

During the Qajar era, there were few signs of women holding power, and positions of authority were largely occupied by men. However, during the reign of Fath-Ali Shah, Hosn Jahan Khanom ruled Kurdistan for a time with notable authority. She was a cultivated and refined woman, gifted with artistic taste and a natural talent for politics and statecraft.
