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]

History and profile

Parvaresh was established by Mirza Ali Mohammad Khan Kashani in Cairo in 1900, and the first issue appeared in June that year.[1][3] He first launched another Persian newspaper in Cairo entitled Sorayya.[4][5] 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.[4] Parvaresh folded in November 1902 when its founder Mirza Ali Mohammad Khan Kashani died.[1]

Political stance and content

Parvaresh was highly progressive and frequently featured articles about women in the Iranian society.[6] The paper argued that there were many talented and creative Iranian women particularly in the field of literature.[6] It was also added that the status of Iranian women under Qajar rule was not acceptable due to the fact that they were considered to be lack of human attributes.[6]
