Abstract

The story of Women's City is one of the tales in Ferdowsi and Nezamis’ Iskandarnamah. In Ferdowsi’s narrative this city is called Haroum and its inhabitants are all women. Alexander eager to visit new lands and intends to go to this city. Through the story one finds out how women ruled their city. Following Ferdowsi, Nezami wrote a more detailed version of this story and associated it with the story of Ghadifa and therefore brought about a new tale. In this poem, the king of the city is a woman called Noushabeh, known for her wisdom and beauty of body and soul. This story goes on in Barda, which was the homeland of Nezami himself. It bears some resemblance to the story of Khosrow and Shirin in that in the latter Mahin Banou is the ruler of the city whose affairs are all controlled only by women. The Armenian princess, Shirin is one of them.There is also an analogy between these cities and the mythological stories of AMAZONIAN WOMEN who rule their own city: men had no way into their city, and the place of their inhabitance is the same as what is told in Nezami’s poetry. It seems likely that the great Iranian poets and story-tellers got the idea and the required information about the city of women from the prose versions of Iskandarnamah and then composed poems based on that. Also, by writing UTOPIAn stories of WOMEN’S CITY, the contemporary feminists have had a new approach to this UTOPIA.
