The Gilan region, positioned as a bridge between Iran and its northern neighbors, has always been susceptible to modernizing influences. The modernization of women in Gilan gained momentum following the Constitutional Revolution and the subsequent establishment of girls' schools. This process further accelerated with the emergence of women's societies in Rasht, notably the "Peyk Sa’adat Nesvan Society," managed by Roshanak No’doust and active from 1300 to 1310 (Iranian calendar). The question arises as to what impact the Peyk Sa'adat Nesvan magazine had on the cultural and social life of Rasht women? The findings suggest that the magazine aimed to foster self-confidence among women, promote modern education, and combat societal injustices. The analysis employs historical methodologies and descriptive-analytical approaches. Utilizing articles from the magazine, archival materials, and library resources, the study examines key indicators including education, maternal health, employment, and marriage. .
