Abstrakt This paper focuses on the history and content analysis of Šokūfe - the second journal of Iranian women - which was published in the late Qajar period (1330 to 1334 AH/ 1911-1915). Its editor-in-chief was Maryam ‘Amīd Semnānī (Mozayyan ol-Salṭaneh), who was one of the pioneers in the areas of girls' education, women and children's health, and women's cultural and social issues. Mozayyan ol-Salṭaneh was the founder of the "Muzayyanīye" school and the "Hemmat-e Khawātīn" association, both of which are reflect-ed in editorials and reports of Šokūfeh. The content analysis of Šokūfeh seeks to provide a quantitative and qualitative picture of the intentions, goals, and actions of the editor-in-chief and writers of the journal, as well as the wishes and activities of Iranian women in line with the social changes of late Qajar period.
