Abstract :
The popularity of the science of medicine in the Gurkani Court of India relied on the presence and scientific work of Iranian scholars. Iranian women, like men, enjoyed this area of science and were also actively involved in social issues. The remarkable participation of Iranian female physicians in some medical fields, such as issues and care in pregnancy, child-bearing, and baby care, is among their scientific contributions to the changes and growing trends in medicine. These affairs were monopolized by women who held this knowledge for centuries. One of the women who was considerably successful in this field was Zat-on-Nessa Amoli, titled Kheyr-on-Nessa, a seventeenth-century female Iranian physician. This research aimed to study the contributions and scientific life of this poet and Iranian physician based on historical documents and texts, considering the research on the science and knowledge of medicine.
