Women in Safavid Iran information


1628 illustration of a woman in Safavid Iran

Women in Safavid Iran (1501-1736) refers to the position and status of women across Safavid society and culture within Safavid Iran. These women enjoyed a wide range of rights and freedom depending on their social status. Upper-class women had access to education and were both politically and publicly active in the Empire. Women in the other classes experienced freedoms like being able to travel, even without their spouses, and managing the economic affairs of their family. All women were visible in the public sphere. However after the death of Shah Abbas in 1629 women's freedom started decreasing and women began to disappear from the public eye. During the rule of Shah Abbas II women experienced restrictions. This period was seen as one of the most difficult times for women in Safavid Iran. Women got constrained to a set of gender-specific roles based on stringent Persian gender norms.[1]
