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] Before Islamic revolution Kayhan (Publishing company) was the editorial and publisher.[3] 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.[3]
