Problems of Iranian women in the 1920s, as discussed in two women’s magazines published by prominent Iranian women, are identified.
Apart from the data collected from the contents of the magazine, records of the National Archives of Iran was consulted for supporting data.
Zabaan-e Zanaan [approx.: Women’s Voice] was owned by a pioneer of women’s rights, Sedigheh Dowlat-Aabaadi (1882-1961), and published first as a newspaper in her home town of Isfahan (1920). After publication was suspended because she attacked the government’s foreign policies, she published it for two years as an exclusively women’s magazine in Tehran. Aalam-e Nesvaan [Women’s World], owned by Navvaabeh Safavi, was published by the graduates of the American School for Girls in the Presbyterian missionary compound in Tehran for 13 years (circa. 1920-1933). Both magazines defended and continuously called for equal rights and public education for women, women’s health issues, campaigned against the Hijab and polygamy, asked for radical reform of marriage law and campaigned against child marriage.
