In 2004, Karimi was inducted into the Iranian Science and Culture Hall of Fame for her lifelong contributions to Persian studies, language, and literature.

Amir Banoo Karimi is the eldest child of the legendary Iranian poet, Seyed Karim Amiri Firuzkuhi.

Born in Tehran, during the era of Reza Shah, Amir Banoo was unable to acquire her father's last name, namely, Amiri Firuzkuhi due to its political connotations, "Amir" meaning king or emir hence, Emir of Firuzkuh. Consequently, she was forced to adopt her father's first name, Karim as her last name.

Amir Banoo Karimi pursued her education in the field of Persian Literature at the University of Tehran where she also taught as a professor upon graduation. She is married to Mozaher Mosaffa, a renowned Persian poet and professor of Persian literature at the University of Tehran.
