Zan-e Rooz or Zan-e Ruz (Persian: زن روز, romanized: 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 in Tehran on 27 February 1965, and the magazine gained an immediate success.[3] The inaugural issue of Zan-e Rooz was published in 15,000 copies, and in 1968 the magazine boasted a print run of 140,000 copies.[3] Its founding editor-in-chief and co-founder was Majid Davami.[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]
