 Isma'il Pasha married Jeshm Afet Hanim, and elevated her to the position of the "Third Princess".Al-Tahtawi’s book on the education of women, titled al-Murshid al-Amin lil Banat wa al-Banin (the faithful guide for girls and boys) published in 1873, was commissioned by Khedive Ismail after Jeshm Afet Hanim, used her own money to establish the first general public school for girls at al-Suyufiya in 1873, which claimed additional fame to her.The genealogy of the dynasty revealed that Jeshm Afet had no children of her own,
 which might explain her interest in the education of young girls.
