Before the Islamic Revolution the magazine was published by the Kayhan Institute.[4][5]

After the 1979 Islamic Revolution the editorial board was overhauled and Zan-E Rooz became an Islamic lifestyle magazine.[5] The magazine moved away from the Western-style gossip sheet and women's publication that it was previously and now explored the rights of women within an Islamic framework.[4]

Shahla Sherkat was appointed editor in 1991, she was quickly accused of “promoting modernist, westernised and feminist tendencies,” and fired the same year.[1] Sherkat then founded Zanan which became the most popular feminist magazine in Iran before publication was suspended in 2008 by order of the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad government.[6]
