The Shahnameh, an influential work of Persian literature holds profound cultural and literary significance. It not only preserves the ancient history and heritage of Persia but also serves as a cornerstone of Persian identity and nationalism. Through its rich narratives and vivid character portrayals, the Shahnameh provides deep insights into the values, beliefs, and social structures of ancient Persian society. A particularly notable aspect of the Shahnameh is its depiction of women, which reflects the complexities of their roles within a patriarchal framework, highlighting their strengths, vulnerabilities, and the societal constraints they face. Accordingly, this paper will examine the status of women depicted in the Shahnameh, analyzing how their roles and portrayals vary across its three main narrative sections: the Mythical Age, the Heroic Age, and the Historical Age. This examination is essential for understanding the gender dynamics and cultural attitudes of ancient Persia, offering valuable perspectives on the historical evolution of gender roles in the society.
