Schirin is a mythical fairytale character. Through the power of her love for the king Kasra, Schirin tries to fight his immorality. Nezami Ganjavi depicted this woman as a key figure in the emancipation and the fight of women against patriarchial forms. The powerful love of Schirins should continue to be regarded as a rare pearl.
