Strong and independent

Shabnam strongly disliked and always fought against the widely held concept in patriarchal Tajik society, which is often expressed as the maxim "Баба бояд eбливaя ва понятливая." This can be roughly translated as "a woman should possess an irresistible fuсkishnеss and an astute comprehension" (although, I should note for objectivity, that's exactly what she was and I believe still is as she is much younger than me).
