In this study, gender patterns in the life stories of convicted women are examined. The primary purpose of the research is to reveal the position of convicted women regarding gender in their lives. The Snowball sampling method was used in the research. In-depth interviews were conducted with eight women (those whose conviction process ended and whose conviction process is still ongoing) using a semi-structured interview form. The interviews lasted between 150-210 minutes. In the interviews, women's living spaces were handled as eight separate themes, and interviews were conducted through questions focusing on the content of the themes. Eight themes were determined within the framework of the results obtained. These themes are named as women's personality and psychological characteristics, childhood and family life, education life, working life, social life, marriage life, gender and the effects of gender on different areas of life, women's crime, and sentencing process. The qualitative data obtained were analyzed with the Maxqda 2020 program using the content analysis method and coded. It is seen that the gender roles and gender-specific lifestyles, gender discrimination, and inequalities adopted by the patriarchal society are very effective in the life processes (childhood, education, family relations, social area, marital life, decision to marry, communication with partner, gender roles within marriage, exposure to violence and/or oppression, reasons for committing crimes, etc.) of women.
