His/her Marzieh sister and it receive an religious education, more particularly gifted in Littérature Persian, Arabic and in Islamic studies. It Marie at 14 years with her cousin Mollah Mohammed Taghi Borghani, a famous religious leader Usuli, one of the most orthodoxe and dogmatic schools, which defied the authority of the Mujtahid S.

In 1828, the young couple Iraq (with Nadjaf and Karbala) will perfect its religious studies in . It is in Iraq that Fatemeh meets other people like Seyyed Kazem Rashti and its successor Seyyed Ali Mohammad Bab; and it is there too that she is sensitized with the European policy. It will join rather quickly the movement Bab; what puts in danger its family. She leaves her husband and starts to openly support the Bab movement, the emancipation of the women and gives speeches. Its very strong presence within the Báb movement will initiate the formation of the first femininist movement organized in Iran.

The first meetings took place at the widow of Kazem Rashti, then quickly in all the country. Fatemeh, Marzieh, Khorshid Beygum Khanum, the mother and the sister of Mollah Hossein Boushroyeh, the mother of Hadi Nahri, Roustameh (first driving woman of the movement) travelled in all the country, organized meetings and helped the Báb is. Many women of the royal court supported also Fatemeh (which was also known under the name of Tahireh ).

In 1848, after the massive persecution of the Báb is, the remaining leaders meet in Behdasht. During this meeting, she cries by asking the emancipation of the women. Its radical actions divide the direction of the movement; it rather quickly is stopped and sent in exile. She escapes, a few days after an assassination attempt on Nasseredin Shah then is caught with Teheran then carried out in 1852 with other leaders Báb S.
