History and profile

Parvaresh was established by Mirza Ali Mohammad Khan Kashani in Cairo in 1900, [1] [3] with the first issue appearing on 8 June that year. [4] Kashani had previously launched another Persian newspaper in Cairo titled Sorayya . [5] [6] However, after a dispute with Sorayya's other editor, Farajallah Hosayni Kashani he left that publication and started Parvaresh, which was also published weekly like Sorayya. [5] Parvaresh ceased publication in November 1902 following the death of its founder, Mirza Ali Mohammad Khan Kashani. [1]

Political stance and content

Parvaresh was highly progressive and frequently featured articles about women in Iranian society. [7] The paper argued that many talented and creative Iranian women, particularly in the field of literature, deserved recognition. [7] It also stated that the status of Iranian women under the Qajar rule was unacceptable, as they were often regarded as lacking basic human attributes. [7]
