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] However, after a dispute with Sorayyas other editor, Farajallah Hosayni Kashani he left that publication and started Parvaresh, which was also published weekly like Sorayya.[6] 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]
