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. Giving attention to the influence
of diverse women's movements over Turkish political values this
book sheds light into the issue of how a feminine civil society has
been constructed as part of a plural public space in Turkey. A-mer
Aaha argues that this new public realm is the product of values and
institutions which have been developed by diverse women's groups
who have succeeded in eliminating the traditional barricades
between public and domestic spheres and in steering women into
public life without sacrificing their own values.
