Notes
Turkish Woman is published by Muallim Ahmed Halid in Istanbul. A total of 21 issues were published between May 23, 1918 and May 8, 1919. It focuses mostly on literary and sociological issues. Despite its short publication life, Türk Kadını is a magazine that is a candidate to attract the attention of women's history researchers with its view of women, its content and its mission. The magazine, which introduced itself with the sentence "Works for women, is published every fifteen days" and whose price varies between 5 and 7.5 kuruş, also had its share of the turbulent political developments of the period; The first page of the last issue was censored by the authorities of the Allied Powers that occupied Istanbul, and the magazine was forced to cease publication at a time when the War of Independence began.
Turkish Women's magazine, published from the last period of the First World War until the first months of the occupation period, falls right in the middle of the first wave feminist movement. In this period when nationalism was a rising value, names such as Şükûfe Nihâi and Müfide Ferid, important feminists of the period, also wrote for the magazine, which had both a nationalist and male-dominated discourse. However, rather than improving women's rights, the magazine deals with issues such as increasing women's education level and the role of women in the face of social disintegration.
