Kadınlar Dile Düşünce

Everyone falls into the conversation, both women and men... But since women, who are confined to a translingual privacy area by patriarchal ideologies, are thought to embarrass themselves when they are visible in the public sphere, the expression "falling out of words" is best applied to them. Moreover, women always fall into the "men's language" because they have to live in a language made by men and they are made a means of symbolizing and talking about other things. Literature is both a part of this process and one of the most competent tools to understand and change it. In addition to examining the theoretical background of feminist criticism, this book examines in depth the works of both male and female writers from Turkish and Western literature. The writings of Jale Parla, Sibel Irzik, Deniz Tarba Ceylan, Zeynep Ergun, Rana Tekcan, Hülya Adak, Süha Ogüzertem, Özden Sözalan and Nurdan Gürbilek deal with the subject in many aspects: the concept of gender, being the subject and object of literature, femininity and The traps and opportunities contained in literature in terms of masculinity fictions, the gender of language and silence... Women Thought With Language offers striking examples of literary readings possible thanks to feminism's "fondness for language".
