Nice find! One of the interesting aspects not mentioned here is that Shahrzad asked for the job. If I recall correctly, she relieved another girl so she could take her place. Besides this one I know of several other ME tales in which the woman proves to be smarter than the man and uses her wit to save her family. Such stories would not exist if the local culture thought it unfathomable for a woman to do a man's job (and do it better, btw).
