| Résumé : | The portrayal of women has long served as a powerful reflection of cultural values, societal expectations, and evolving gender roles. This research work aims to provide an overview of the portrayal of Turkish women, highlighting the transformative insights of Zehra Arat. Furthermore, the study seeks to dismantle Orientalist stereotypes and tropes while navigating the complex intersectional dynamics of gender, culture, and historical context. Through the examination of Orientalism, the research underscores its profound influence on societal perceptions of Turkish women. Moreover, it probes the pivotal role of Middle Eastern feminism in challenging Western hegemony and reshaping narratives of Turkish women's identity. By closely examining Arat's scholarly contributions, the research emphasizes her persistent advocacy for challenging Orientalist representations and advancing the empowerment of Turkish women on both local and global platforms. Henceforth, this study examines the evolution of Turkish women's identity and the strategic efforts to counter Orientalist narratives through an exploration of media, literature, and art . |
