Parvaresh ( Persian: Education) was one of the Persian publications which were published in Cairo, Egypt. The paper was in circulation between 1900 and 1902. [1] It was among the Persian publications published abroad which contributed to the political awakening of Iranians. [2]
Parvaresh was established by Mirza Ali Mohammad Khan Kashani in Cairo in 1900, [1] [3] and the first issue appeared on 8 June that year. [4] Kashani first launched another Persian newspaper in Cairo entitled Sorayya. [5] [6] However, when he disputed with Sorayya's another editor Farajallah Hosayni Kashani he left it and started Parvaresh which was also published on a weekly basis like Sorayya. [5] Parvaresh folded in November 1902 when its founder Mirza Ali Mohammad Khan Kashani died. [1]
Parvaresh was highly progressive and frequently featured articles about women in the Iranian society. [7] The paper argued that there were many talented and creative Iranian women particularly in the field of literature. [7] It was also added that the status of Iranian women under the Qajar rule was not acceptable due to the fact that they were considered to be lack of human attributes. [7]
