Our collections are named to honor powerful women and queens of Ancient Persia that have been largely lost to modern memory and history. From persepolis.nu:
“Women in Persia were very honored and revered, they often held very important and influential positions in the courthouse, ministries, military, state and treasury department, and other official administrations. The significant role of women in Ancient Persia both horrified and fascinated the ancient Greek and Roman male-dominated societies. The fortification tablets at the Ruins of Persepolis also reveals that men and women were represented in identical professions and that they received equal payments as skilled laborers and that gender was not a criterion at all, unlike our modern world.”
