Publisher Synopsis
'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 Read more...
