Azerbaijan gadini (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan qadını – "Woman of Azerbaijan") is Azerbaijani-language women's magazine. It was founded in 1923 and was named "Sharg gadini" (Azerbaijani: Şərq qadını – "Woman of the East") until 1938. Sharg gadini was the first magazine in Azerbaijan to advocate for women's rights and spread ideas of freedom among women.[1] The magazine was the main print organ of Azerbaijani Zhenotdel. Sharg gadini was designed for Muslim women, to educate them about their rights and promote the Communist Party's agenda of incorporating Muslim women into the economic, political, and social aspects of the socialist state in Azerbaijan.[2]
"Sharg gadini" also has been noted in some sources as the first women's publication in Azerbaijan, because, "Ishig" newspaper remained overlooked for many years.[3][4]
The magazine is currently published in Baku under the editorship of Fatma Abdullazadeh in a new format.[5]
