Parvaresh (Persian: Education) was one of the Persian publications published in Cairo, Egypt. The paper was in circulation from 1900 to 1902.[1] It was among the Persian publications abroad that contributed to the political awakening of Iranians.[2]

History and profile

[edit | edit source]

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

[edit | edit source]

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]
