Danesh ( Persian: دانش; DMG: Daneš; English: “knowledge“) entitled seven different Persian periodicals which have been published since 1882. This digitized journal Danesh was a Persian women’s journal which was edited in Teheran. It was published weekly from 1910 until 1911 (1328-1329 hš) in 30 issues. The editor was the wife of Dr. Hosseyn Khan (Kahal) and the daughter of Yaqub Jadid al-Eslam Hamadani. Her own name is not known. Moreover, 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. Two years after the disestablishment of Danesh another women's magazine, called Shokufeh, was published in Teheran.
