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