Women and Civil Society in Turkey

- Women's Movements in a Muslim Society

Bag om Women and Civil Society in Turkey

Focusing on three important interrelated issues, Women and Civil Society in Turkey challenges the classical definition, developed in the West, of civil society as an equivalent of the public sphere in which women are excluded. First it shows how feminist movements have developed a new definition of civil society to include women. Second it draws attention to the role of women in the modernization of Turkey with special reference to the debate on the possibility of an indigenous feminist movement. Finally, it underlines the contribution of feminist, Islamic and Kurdish women¿s movements in the transition from an ideologically constructed, uniform public sphere to a multi-public domain.
