Answer 2

Answer:

Reza Shah Pahlavi

Explanation:

Reza Shah formerly a minister of war, prime minister and ultimately the Shah of Iran, was a progressive ruler, that gave Iran a modernizing path and promoted the empowerment of women in politics and education:

Reza Shah ruled from 1925 to 1941 with major shifts in favour of women, he set the mandatory unveiling of women called Kashf-e hijab —a highly debated policy that led to the desegregation of women.

In 1963 Women in Iran were granted the right to vote, and began to be accepted to Iranian universities.

Significant numbers of women started to have high ranked positions in the state or parliament. And this enabled that on the long term women were the first to become ministers or ambassadors in the Middle East.
