In the collection of 90 issues, there are 34 columns titled "About Women" that we researched. In addition, almost every issue includes cartoons with the theme of women, and 219 cartoons of this nature have been included in our thesis.

It is possible to see to obtain very important information about the sense of humor, perception of women and image of the period in the newspaper. In the newspaper, women were often separated according to their lifestyle and formal characteristics; Women who are not eager to adapt to traditional and new life dynamics are idealized. The female figure, which is the subject of humor and criticism, is the "modern woman". These women are portrayed as the type who only likes to dress up, put on makeup, travel and spend money. In the cartoons, the satirized women are commodified. Apart from the "modern woman", -although not very often- female figures such as "young and naive girl", "ignorant woman" and "harasho's" can be encountered.
