Danesh (Persian: دانش; DMG: Daneš; lit. 'knowledge') was a Persian-language women's journal which was edited in Tehran, Iran. It was published weekly from 1910 until 1911 in 30 issues.
Danesh was started in 1910 and continued to be published until 1911.[1][2] The editor was the wife of Hossein Khan (Kahal)[3] and the daughter of Yaqub Jadid al Eslam Hamadani.[4] Her own name is not known. Danesh was Iran's first journal especially for women. Political topics were not part of the content, but rather domestic issues in which the women were interested in at that time. In addition articles on topics like education and parenting were published as well as chapters of serialised novels. The frequency of Danesh which was based in Tehran became irregular over time.[5]
Two years after the disestablishment of Danesh another women's magazine, called Shokufeh, was published in Tehran.[2]
