Roshanak No'doost (Persian: روشنک نوع‌دوست, 1898 - 1957) was an Iranian journalist and an advocate of Women's rights movement in Iran. She published the magazine associated with Jam'iat-e Peyk-e Sa'adat-e Nesvan and was also one of its founders.[1]
Biography[edit]
Roshanak No'doost was born in 1898 in Rasht, Iran. Her father was a medical doctor and an intellectual. He began schooling her from a very young age and she learned to speak Arabic and French.[1]
In 1918, Roshanak founded a girl's school in Rasht. Following the Persian Constitutional Revolution and the establishment of the first congress of Communist Party of Persia in Bandar-e Anzali (1920), Roshanak, along with other local women of Gilan, founded Jam'iat-e Peyk-e Sa'adat-e Nesvan (Persian: جمعیت پیک سعادت نسوان, lit. "The Society for the Message of Salvation of Women") to promote women's political and social rights.[2] The Society's activities included founding and improving libraries and schools for girls, holding vocational classes for women, producing theater performances, and giving political speeches. Roshanak also published the Society's magazine, Peyk-e Sa'adat-e Nesvan.[3]
Roshanak suffered from several maladies and in the spring of 1957, she traveled to Tehran to seek medication. Her sister, Moluk, and Moluk's children accompanied her on this trip. She died in the hospital soon after arriving in Tehran, and was buried in Ray's Ibn Babawayh Cemetery, a short distance south of Tehran. The school she established in Rasht was active until the 1979 revolution, after which it was renamed to Esmat.[4]
Roshanak was the granddaughter of Subh-i-Azal, the leader of Azali Bábism.[5]
