: ''Šokufeh'';
English meaning: "Blossom"), the next Persian magazine only for women, was established in 1913. The magazine was headquartered in Tehran and published on a biweekly basis.
The editor was
Maryam Amid Mozayen ol-Saltaneh, the daughter of Aqa Mirza Sayyed Razi Ra’is al-Atebba, a high-ranking medical advisor at the
Qajar court.
[Camron Michael Amin. (2002). ''The Making of the Modern Iranian Woman: Gender, State Policy, and Popular Culture, 1865–1946'', Gainesville, pp. 40-41.] Almost at the same time, Mozayen ol-Saltaneh founded the
Iranian Women’s Society Anjoman Khavatin Irani, which objectives she published in the ''Shokufeh'' magazine.
[Parvin Paidar. (1995). ''Women and the Political Process in Twentieth-Century Iran'', Cambridge, p. 92.] She supported particularly the promotion of Iranian products and industry as well as education, science and art among women.
[
At first the magazine dealt predominantly with topics that concerned mainly women, like equality of rights, education, upbringing, hygiene and ethics.][Hamideh Sedghi. (2007). ''Women and Politics in Iran: Veiling, Unveiling, and Reveiling'', Cambridge, p. 55.] In the course of the work of the Iranian Women’s Society the topics started to be more political, whereby the national independence and the woman's role were addressed.[ ''Shokufeh'' claimed not to interfere in the men's political sphere, but was unable always to keep to it, which brought the magazine under censorship.][ After Mozayen ol-Saltanehs death in 1919 the publication of ''Shokufeh'' was suspended.
