The most affected by these changes are the women who are the cultural producers who are starting to exist in the public arena. In this period, one of the important steps of Turkish modernization; Tried to be solved through "literature and art", "the issue of how women should be positioned in society". The authors of the period, such as novels, stories, poetry and theater, instrumentalized them in order to solve this problem. Almost all of the Ottoman intellectuals have focused on women's education and equality with men in their studies on women's issues. These intellectuals advocated the right of women to educate, especially as the society progressed as a whole and the social status of women was promoted. Thus, discrimination in the direction of secularization and emancipation which started to be felt in the Ottoman society in a partial sense was reflected in the right of girls to education and radical breaks in women's rights and freedoms started to be seen. The effects of the reforms of the Ottoman state in its efforts to become a nation-state have also been reflected in women, and women have begun to live positive changes in many ways compared to the past. Most of the plays of the period are writers; they were able to decide whether or not the woman could be independent and acted as an individual, and they generally gave a fictitious man. In this period, the treatment of women in civil advices, written newspapers, written poems, novels and theatrical plays is always based on equality. This idea is used as a theatrical medium for dissemination and internalization by society. Within the patriarchal structure; as well as the abuse of religion and the pushing of Ottoman women out of society as a consequence of the social roles burdened on the man, the inequality towards the male has been the subject of many authors.},author={Tamer TEMEL},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
