| description | In this article I try to link feminist thought in the late Ottoman Empire, in the Balkans and in Early Turkish Republic – i.e. from the last quarter of the 19th century to the Interwar period – to the emergence of bourgeois subjectivities in the region. I examine to what extent feminism, as criticism towards the existing social order, was based on a bourgeois subjectivity stemming from the Enlightenment and Romanticism, common tools of thought for literate populations of various ethno-religious origins in the “Orient”. I parallelize in this regard the life stories of some female intellectuals who were defenders of women’s rights; I compare Sotiria Cléoménous-Alibertis (1847-1929) and Kalliopi Kechagia (1839-1905), Greek intellectuals being active in the Empire Ottoman and Greece, with Fatma Aliye (1862-1936), Halide Edib Adıvar (1884-1964) and Nezihe Muhittin (1889-1958), prominent Turkish Muslim intellectuals of the time. I draw on those women’s correspondence as well as the autobiographies, literary texts and essays written by them. This production will be regarded as a series of “self-narratives”, whereby these women endeavored to gain social hegemony (in Gramscian terms) over the whole national womanhood, actually over the whole national body |
