An analysis of Shahnameh miniatures produced during the Safavid Empire reveals that these images prescribed certain behaviors and convey a reinforcement of these behaviors towards women of the upper class. For Safavid Iran, the Shahnameh---an epic (story) of the mythology and history of ancient Persia---represented both an authority on Persian culture and an educational reference for the upper class. Images (miniatures) of these manuscripts, which have been part of a longstanding and continuing artistic tradition since the eleventh century, show women as confined to a gender-specific set of roles founded upon strict Persian ideas about gender norms. Before the establishment of the empire in 1501, these Safavid women displayed a high degree of visibility in the public sphere and were prevalent in the political arena. Following 1501 until 1600, during the period of the Safavid empire's stabilization, these same women began to disappear both from the public eye and from the Safavid court. The behavior of women during this period seems to have been modeled after the depictions of women in this famous classical text. This thesis analyzes Persian miniatures of the Shahnameh in a new light, studying the relationships between women and architectural spaces in the images and how they may have conveyed new ideas about women's visibility and political agency in Safavid Iran.
