Zan-e Rooz
Zan-e Rooz was a women's weekly Persian-language magazine published in Tehran, Iran. The magazine was first published in 1964. The first issue hit the newsstands of Tehran on February 27, 1965, and gained an immediate success. 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. The magazine's first editor-in-chief was its co-founder, Majid Davami. Before Islamic revolution Kayhan was the editorial and publisher. 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.
