Goharshad is an historical figure I'd never heard of before, which is a real shame because her story is fascinating. Living in a world that did not value the feminine, she did not make her mark by embracing the masculine. Instead, she found ways to encourage the things that she valued in society - beauty and fairness instead of aggression and self-importance. Young readers will learn from Goharshad's story the values of beauty and of being true to yourself.
