Özet:

In the most general sense, the concept of feminism is defined as a view that defends the need for women to have equal rights and opportunities with men. This concept, which dates back to the 18th century, emerged with the claim that there are inequalities in the political, economic and social fields between women and men. From the past to the present, the gender that formed the foundation of history and set the rules in societies is considered to be male, the position of women in society and therefore the identity of women is formed by men. While men are described as strong and family reyes, women are generally described as mothers, households and sex objects. This situation decreases the woman’s paternal structure to a secondary position and leads her to a disadvantage in society. From this situation, feminist theories have emerged, rejecting the inequality between these two sexes and questioning the situations that have a negative impact on the woman, which arise as a result of this inequality. When literature is studied, feminist theories are evolving and changing over time. In this collection, the historical process from the 18th century to today will be taken into account to understand the process of change of female identity in society, and the basic speeches and contents of feminist theories will be discussed.
