Tracing the centrality of women in the definition of Turkish
secularism, this study investigates the 2003 decision to increase
the number of women officers employed by the Presidency of
Religious Affairs (Diyanet). It explores how, as professional
religious officers, the female Diyanet preachers epitomize a pious,
modern and highly educated woman whose role in society has been
raised to prominence. Based on extensive fieldwork in Turkey, and
drawing on a rich ethnography of the activities conducted by
Diyanet women preachers in Istanbul, Chiara Maritato disentangles
the state's attempt to standardize a multifaceted female religious
participation. In using the feminization of the Diyanet as a prism
through which to understand the significance of a renewed presence
of Islam in the Turkish public realm, she casts light on a broader
reformulation of religious services for women and families in
Turkey, and pinpoints how this pervasive moral support has been
able to penetrate and reshape even secular spaces.
