As the daughter of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and a member of the royal family, Farahnaz Pahlavi became one of the faces of the monarchy’s final years. The Pahlavi dynasty’s reign was marked by significant modernization and Westernization efforts under the leadership of the Shah, but it also led to political turmoil, including the growing opposition from religious groups and left-wing factions that ultimately culminated in the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
