Chapter 1 at a glance: The Press and the Legacy of the Past

Chapter of my book Creating the Modern Iranian Woman: Popular Culture betwen Two Revolutions by Cambridge University Press provides a brief review of Iranian women’s entry into journalism and the legacy of their incipient journals.

Iranian women’s print media emerged in the early twentieth century at approximately the same time that perceptions about the nature and function of the print media, anti-imperialist nationalism and notions about "the modern woman," were consolidated. This chapter lays essential ground for the discussion of the connections between the print media, women and the state in the ensuing decades.

This first chapter also provides a vital foundation from which to assess the continuity and discontinuity of different trends in women’s periodicals over time.
