Biography
editBadisaba Vakilova was born on March 14, 1881, in the village of Salahlı, Kazakh uezd. Her father was Mustafa agha Vakilov, and her mother was Fatma khanum Vakilova.[2] She had two brothers with the names Mammad agha Vakilov and Ismayil agha Valikov. In 1897, at the age of 17, she married Firidun bey Kocharli and took his surname. While working as the director of Children's Home No. 2 in Shaki, she adopted a child named Roza Hashimova.[2]
Firidun bey Kocharli engaged in her education while working as a teacher at the Transcaucasian Teachers Seminary in Gori. Later, she received higher education at the Azerbaijan Pedagogical Institute while working at the Baku Women's Teachers' Seminary.[2]
In 1918, Badisaba Kocharli, using her own funds, opened the "House for Orphaned and Refugee Children" in Qazakh together with Firidun bey Kocharli. After the establishment of Soviet rule in Azerbaijan, the first serious and benevolent step taken by Badisaba khanum in the field of public education was her assistance to the newly organized public schools. She provided significant financial assistance to the schools in Qazakh, donating works by M.F. Akhundov, J. Mammadguluzadeh, R. Efendiyev, F. Kocharli, and other writers, as well as complete sets of various magazines. From 1921 to 1924, she worked as a teacher at the Baku Women's Teacher Training Seminary. The "Materials on the History of Azerbaijani Literature," which F. Kocharli could not see published during his lifetime, was published in two volumes (each volume consisting of two parts) in Baku in 1925–1926 on the initiative of Badisaba khanum after his death.
