Manichaeism, a religion which derived much from Zoroastrianism. After her
appointment at the University of London School of Oriental and African
Studies (SOAS), first as a lecturer in 1947 and subsequently as a
Professor in 1963, she came to concentrate on the study of Zoroastrianism.

Zoroastrianism and evolution of its rituals and doctrines. She
spent some time in Kerman, Yazd, and Sharifabad amongst the Zarathushti
communities learning about their current ways and traditions.
