Abstract
In a previously published paper [1], we had discussed about one of the prominent activities of women at the time of the constitutional revolution in Iran. Lady doctor Kahhal was the first female ophthalmologist in Iran who was visiting the patients as a physician and published the first specialized scientific newspaper, which was dedicated to women’s issues. “Danesh Newspaper,” first time published on September 14, 1910 in Tehran, included healthcare issues related to women and children, hygiene, and public health. In our recent investigations, we incidentally found some documents in National Library and Archives of I. R. Iran which provide new evidence for our claims in this regard and shed light on the whole story [2].
