Why Is Puri Soltani Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Puri Soltani was an academic who was a "pioneer of Iranian librarianship". Soltani was born in Hamadan. Her father, a prominent constitutionalist lawyer, died while she was a child. Her husband, the poet and newspaper editor, Morteza Keyvan, was executed three months after their wedding, prompting Soltani to leave Iran for several years. After returning to Iran, Soltani founded multiple library organizations, expanded the library system of the University of Tehran, and oversaw the digitization of Iranian national documents. Soltani is credited with modernizing libraries and information science in Iran. She died in Tehran in 2015.
