Journal Title: Dini Araştırmalar -Altı Aylık Bilimsel Dergi- - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 49

Abstract

In Turkey, women have started to become apparent with a conservative woman identity since the 1980’s. The main reason for this is that before the 1980's period, generally within “the woman” category, without making any allocations, we refer to woman's perception or change and transformation of conservatism. In particular, “conservative woman” is proprietarily addressed after 1980. The subject of research in this regard, predominantly from the 1980, is to investigate the change in perception of conservative women. The issue, primarily from the Reformation period to the Republic, then from the proclamation of the Republic to the end of 1980’s and finally from 1980’s to today, is discussed in the context of the position of women. Substantially, with the Second Constitutionalist period, topics like the statute of woman in family and society and woman’s rights started to be questioned and this questioning transformed to several gains with the Proclamation of the Republic. Thus, after this period the appearance of woman, who is actor in social life, started to increase. In this study, changes in the perception of conservative women are explained in the framework of; feminism, patriarchy, women's bodies, gender, public and private space and the headscarf debate. The main objective of this study is in relation to the change in women's perception and the results revealed in terms of the source of formation of today's conservative women's consciousness. For this purpose, a historical and social process-based method of expression was undertaken.
