Zan-e Rooz
Zan-e Rooz (Persian: زن روز) (meaning Woman of Today in English) was a women's weekly Persian-language magazine published in Tehran, Iran.[1] The magazine was first published in 1964.[2] The first issue hit the newsstands of Tehran on February 27, 1965, and gained an immediate success.[3] The inaugural issue of Zan-e Ruz was published in 15,000 copies, and in 1968 the magazine boasted a print run of 140,000 copies.[4] The magazine's first editor-in-chief was its co-founder, Majid Davami (1930-2007).[4] Before Islamic revolution Kayhan (Publishing company) was the editorial and publisher.[5] After the Iranian Revolution, as women's political activity alongside men increased, publications focusing on women's issues sprang up to answer the increased demand. Due to this, Zan-e Rooz shifted from being a Western-style gossip sheet to a publication dedicated to exploring the rights of women within the Islamic framework.[5]
