Özet:

Although it is accepted that the rights for women started to be given with the Tanzimat period in Turkey, women’s movements began intensively in the Second Constitutional Period. In the environment of freedom created by the Second Constitutional Monarchy, although it was loudly stated that the rights granted to women in the West should be granted to Turkish women, radical changes in this direction did not occur. Radical changes towards Turkish women were tried to be achieved by giving legal, political and human rights in the first years of the Republic. In addition, Turkish women were expected to adopt the principles of the newly established republic and raise their children with this vision. The press was used to disseminate all the targets set for Turkish women in the society. In the Moda Kadın page published in Cumhuriyet newspaper between 1930-1933, “Mother and Child, What Should Every Young Girl Know? In the sections “Women in Europe, Fashion, Home Fashion, Practical Information for the Home, Kindness, The Secret of Beautification, Housewives, Sports and Health, Women Who Play a Major Role in Life”, it was emphasized how the Turkish woman should be, and the ideal woman profile of the republican regime was tried to be shown and explained. In this article, the role and expectations of the page in creating a new Turkish woman profile are determined by analyzing the content of the news published on the Moda Kadın page. In addition, it is tried to evaluate how the new lifestyle that the republican regime expects to be adopted is handled by Moda Kadın, the content of this lifestyle, and the place of Turkish women in Turkish and world society from the point of view of the page.
