Zan-e Rooz (Persian: زن روز) (English meaning: Woman of Today) is 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 27 February 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.[3] The magazine's founding editor-in-chief was its co-founder, Majid Davami (1930-2007).[3] Before Islamic revolution Kayhan publishing company was the editorial and publisher.[4] 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.[4]
