Özet:

Sema Kaygusuz, who started her literary life with the genre of short stories in the 1990s, is considered among the remarkable young writers of Turkish literature, both with the form and content features of her works and the awards she received. Kaygusuz's stories, which point to an original language and narrative attitude with his vocabulary and poetic language, focus on ordinary people and lives in general. It problematizes the psychological reflections of these lives on the axis of society-individual-nature. This thematic focus opens the door to a parallelism and continuity between storybooks in terms of content and structure. It points to the basic concepts and problematics around which the author revolves. In addition to people, the animals, trees and plants that she includes in her stories reflect Kaygusuz's sensitivity towards nature. This study aims to analyze the female characters in the story books Sema Kaygusuz's Ortadan Yarısından, Sandık Lekesi, Doyma noktası and Esir Sözler Kuyusu by focusing on Gennadiy N. Pospelov's classification of "emotional attachment". Kaygusuz's stories usually include the emotional and spiritual pressure and destruction that gender inequality creates on female characters. When we look closely at the stories, it is seen that women in traditional life are oppressed by social/traditional norms; It is seen that women in modern life come to the forefront with the internal conflicts they experience. The problems and conflicts experienced by the female characters who try to hold on to life in modern and traditional social structures constitute one of the main themes of Kaygusuz's stories. The effort to bring nature and women together on a common denominator in almost every story suggests that Kaygusuz is consciously trying to establish the identity of nature and woman.
