Her hand-written memoir had remained unpublished until 60 years after her death, and is currently in the archives of Iran's National Library.

Nesta Ramazaini's review in The Middle East Journal praised the book's open description of the daily life and political infighting in the Qajar harem.

In her memoirs, she describes her upbringing in the royal harem, using details of court rules about having wet nurses and slaves as a opening to criticize Qajar society and the limitations Persian women faced. She describes her understanding of the successful plot and assassination of her father in 1896. She detailed the pain of her betrothal at age eight and damage from arranged marriages. She makes a pointed argument against veiling as damaging to family life and overall Persian society. The account also includes the pain from her husband's extramarital affairs and her choice to have an abortion out of fear of a death during childbirth.
