Özet
This study will introduce and discuss the development of feminism in Islam and the context of Turkey. Elif Shafak's novels make close reference to Turkey's patriarchal traditions and feminist concerns about women's lives in Turkey. Shafak writes novels and newspaper articles that investigate the role of women and sexuality in relation to broader concepts of nationhood and nationality. This study will analyse Shafak's critique of the phenomenon of women's sexuality as a primary determinant of identity. It will examine those of her characters whose sexualities pose problems for Turkish society, leading to alienation. In the first chapter, The Flea Palace (2004) will be discussed focusing on the fact that women's identities are constructed with regards to their relationship to men instead of individual identities. In the second chapter, The Bastard of Istanbul (2007) will be analysed focusing on how women's sexuality is a basis for degradation and sexual abuse for women. In the third chapter, the theme of honour and virginity will be discussed with respect to its analysis in Honour (2012). Shafak depicts women protagonists as the victims of patriarchy and as sympathetic characters with a position of silence and defencelessness. Besides, male protagonists are often punished for their oppression of women in their lives. Therefore, it is argued that these novels re-enact and condemn gender inequality as well as revealing how patriarchy adversely affects the daily lives of all concerned.
