Rape Comparative Study on Feminist Perspectives Privileged Feminists Black Feminists and Turkish Feminists
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2006) Emanet, Zühre; Louıse Şimşek, Mary; O'Neil, Mary Lou
Is it possible to assume that “rape” has one specific determination? Is it possible to find different definitions of rape around the world? If women are most frequently victims of rape, is it about being women? Is there a relationship between gender asymmetry and rape in society? Can culture, ethnicity, race, class or gender make a difference while determining the crime? Is it only a crime? Can the perception of such a crime make difference depending on where you stand? How do women perceive this violence? Rape is a fact of everyday life. It is not an isolated phenomenon. This paper examines three different feminist perspectives. Black feminism and privileged feminists in the U.S, and Turkish feminism are studied in order to find out if the perception of rape can differ. This paper reveals the fact that determination of rape changes depending on where the determiner stands, how the determiner perceives society, how the determiner defines woman. The social explanation of rape can be different depending on the woman’s experience. In the determination of the rape, feminists’ class, race, ethnicity, nationality are factors while in explaining the issue
Economic Independence of Women in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Works
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2010) Yavaş, Ülkü; Louıse Şimşek, Mary; Lou Oneil, Mary
This thesis aims to analyze the works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman in terms ofeconomic independence of women in the view of feminism and gender identity. Gilmanadvocated that women should work and take part in the labor market to eradicate their oppression and to contribute to women's improvement. Feminism means to struggleagainst men's patronizing and dominating over women legally, socially andeconomically and to defend that women are humans rather than sex. Feminists defendthat women have the same intellectual and professional capacity to work as men.Accordingly, Gilman believed that women contribute more to human progress if theywere given the same opportunity and freedom as men. She harshly criticized women's being parasite who were not working outside but imprisoned at homes doing onlyhousework and childrearing. In this case, women are economically dependent to men:Husbands are employers while wives are employees.Gilman wrote utopic novels to present solutions for economic inequitiesbetween men and women. She tried to reconstruct new modern gender roles for women,and to clear away the former constructed gender roles of the man-made world. In theirutopic countries, Gilman's strong and independent women characters have no pressuresof this man-made world. Adopting Herbert Spencer's conception of Social Darwinism,Gilman claimed that if women had to fall behind men in time by the social evolution;they can regain their economic, intellectual and social independence by social evolution.For Gilman, a social evolution is essential, and this needs women?s economicparticipation.

Selfish Vengeful and Full of Spite: the Representations of Women Who Have Abortions on Turkish Television
(2013) O'Neil, Mary Lou; Louıse Şimşek, Mary
This article analyses the portrayal of women who have abortions in four recent Turkish television series Gümü? A?k-i Memnu Hanimin Ç iftlig. i andÖyle Bir Geçer Zaman ki all of which appeared between 2005 and 2011. It is clear from the varying storylines of these melodramas that the depiction of women who have abortions on Turkish television is decidedly negative. The women who have abortions are seen as defying cultural expectations to place motherhood before all else. They are portrayed as cheating on their husbands having sex outside of marriage and prioritizing career over marriage and family. The negative portrayal of women who have abortions in Turkish soap operas perpetuates the discourse on Republican womanhood which prescribes motherhood as women's national duty and as being at the core of their identity. © 2013 Taylor and Francis.
A Comperative Look at Media Literacy Education in Turkey Focusing on the Shift To a More Critical Approach and New Media Updates in the Curriculum
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2016) Goysari, Merve; Louıse Şimşek, Mary; O'Neil, Mary Lou
This thesis aims to examine the changing approach towards media literacy education in Turkey. This change will be shown through an in depth comparison of the two course books of this lesson from years 2006 and 2015. The comparison shows a change towards a more critical approach. The newer version of the book blends new media elements throughout the book as a whole not just in one unit. The new book also aims to make the students more aware of the messages that are geared towards them from various media outlets on a daily basis. The newer version of the course is designed to encourage students to think more independently ask themselves the right questions and through tasks have a hands-on experience in creating media products. The comparison primarily aims to show the digital media the computer age and internet’s influence on the adapted curriculum also how this change affects the students and encourages them to think more independently.

Competing Frameworks of Islamic Law and Secular Civil Law in Turkey: a Case Study on Women's Property and Inheritance Practices
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Toktaş, Şule; Louıse Şimşek, Mary; O'Neil, Mary Lou
The article stems from empirical research conducted with a group of women living in Istanbul who have conservative life styles bounded by an Islamic worldview. It attempts to illuminate the negotiation and contestation between the official civil law and Islamic law. The findings demonstrate that women inherit and bequeath property in a social setting where their gender roles are defined by their adherence to Islam. We argue that in Turkey women's inheritance practices are not determined solely in accordance with the secular civil law but rather are the result of a complex and intertwined combination of legal sources where an Islamic worldview often leads to the adoption of Islamic law. In other words the application of the secular civil law in Turkey is limited by the common practice of Islamic law. Rather than follow the gender equality mandated by the civil law the inheritance practices of many Islamic women are constituted with a deference to some aspects of Islamic law creating a situation of legal pluralism in Turkey.

The Not So New Turkish Woman: a Statistical Look at Women in Two Istanbul Neighborhoods
(2009) O'Neil, Mary Lou; Louıse Şimşek, Mary
Using survey data gathered from nearly 400 women living in two Istanbul neighborhoods this article explores issues of work education family and feminism. In addition to presenting the findings we argue that there is a continued gap between the ideal of the Republican woman and the actual practices of this group of Turkish women. The picture of these Turkish women that emerged from this survey is that of women still largely in the grips of an ideal born in the early days of the Turkish Republic. However it also became clear that there also exist rifts between belief and practice in the lives of these women: they seem to believe in many facets of the Republican woman while at the same time the practices they engage in belie some aspects of this belief. Ultimately it seems that in some respects they are in the process of constructing their own idea of a Turkish woman while at the same time some aspects of these women's lives remain deeply bound by traditional notions of gender.
