Sardar Maryam Bakhtiari, the daughter of Husainqali Khan Ilkhan Muqtadar Bakhtiari, was the mother of martyr Ali Mardan Khan and one of the women fighters of the constitutional period, but unfortunately the exact time and place of her birth is not known; But according to the available evidence, she was born in 1870 AD and according to the descendants of this free lady, the birthplace of this Iranian general was Choghakhor; But he lived in Isfahan and Surashjan from Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province and his house in Isfahan was known as Rudabeh Palace on Sheikh Baha'i Street.

This character is the first lady Iranian commander who received the highest award of the German monarchy from the German consul in Iran for her bravery in the world war and the fight against Britain and Russia.

The anthropologist, Dr. Soltani, said: "According to the documents I obtained, Baby Maryam received a cash gift from the German emperor, a German statue, and therefore a lifetime gift to the German government.
