Ettelā'āt-e Bānuvān (Persian: اطلاعات بانوان) or Banovan was one of the early women's magazines published in Tehran. The magazine was established by Ettelaat Publishing Group in 1957.[1][2] The first issue of the magazine which was published on a weekly basis appeared in April 1957.[3]

Ettelā'āt-e Bānuvān covered news on celebrities, the royal family, health, beauty, and other topics related to women.[1] The first chief editor of Ettelā'āt-e Bānuvān and one of its founders was Iraj Mosta'an (Persian: ایرج مستعان), who was succeeded by Pari Abasalti (Persian: ) in 1968.[3]

The magazine was closed in 1979, but was reopened in 1981.[1] Ettelā'āt-e Bānuvān continued until 1980, and relaunched the following year under the title Rah-e Zaynab (Persian: راه زینب), and the editorship of Zahra Rahnavard (Persian: زهرا رهنورد).[3]
