Riassunto

This volume examines common stereotypes surrounding Turkish women. Encompassing fields of study such as political science, economics, business, ethnography, history, and literature, the book explores various images attributed to or imposed upon Turkish women. Written from the perspectives of the 1990s, the essays seek to integrate around the unifying theme of changes and continuities in the images of Turkish women from the late 19th-century to the present.

Recensione

'Finally, a volume whose goal is to demystify the orientalist and the nationalist representations of the `Turkish Woman.' Zehra Arat's thoughtful introduction, as well as the different chapters' discussions of the social and political histories of the varied intellectual constructions of Turkish womanhood, will be of great interest to students of gender in Middle East Studies regardless of their specific countries of interest.' - Mervat F. Hatem, Political Science, Howard University
