Life

After his father's death in 1902, Jabbarli's mother moved to Baku with her four children. In 1915, Jabbarli graduated from high school and studied electromechanics at Baku Polytechnicum for the next 5 years.

in 1925 and directing it at the Azerbaijan Drama Theatre a year later.[3]

Both focused on the theme of the role of women, their oppression, struggle, and ultimately, victory over dated patriarchal traditions.[4][5][6]
