Özet:

The Tanzimat Decree is considered to mark the beginning of the modernization and reform process in the Ottoman Empire. During this period, demands for equality and freedom emerged across various segments of society. Changes in the status of women were also observed during this process. With the declaration of the Second Constitutional Era (II.Meşrutiyet), women began to question their roles in society. In comparison to the previous era, women had more opportunities to express their demands actively through the press, associations, and conferences. The changes experienced by the Ottoman State during the modernization process that began with the Tanzimat continued into the period of Abdulhamid II. This modernization played a decisive role not only politically but also in the social reconstruction of society. As a result, female writers in newspaper and magazines found a platform to express themselves durin the modernization process. Newspapers and magazines began to portray the efforts of Western women to adapt to modern life as an example for Ottoman women. Naime Nimet Seyfi, one of the femalewriters who wrote articles in the increasing number of women’s magazines and newspapers, addressed the issues of the time. We have identified her articles, Latinized them, and provided them at the end of the text.
