Thinking About Turkish Women's Past: Some Reflections on the Intersection of Turkish Nationalism and Gender
| If we define nation as an imagined community whose boundaries are symbolically invented, it is possible to say that a coherent community exists because “we” are ethnically, linguistically, religiously and ideologically distinct from “them” characterizing the others. It is important to clarify the roles attributed to women and to understand how women have been symbolically used in this imagination process and in the description of “us versus them”. Any construction of boundaries that includes some people and excludes others involves an act of active imagination and in this imagination, women are invisible actors in many respects. The aim of my paper will be to illustrate these different parts of symbolic construction of community with regard to Turkish women and to examine the gendered nature of Turkish nationalism at early Republican Period.
