The women characters and women education in Pınar Kür's novels

It's an undeniabled truth that Turkey experienced a major social evolution with the declaration of Republic. Women's role and development were very important in this process. Turkish women possessed various rights before most of the women living in countries which were accepted as civilized. But these rigths weren't possessed after a big struggle. For this reason they weren't internalized by women immediately and weren't accepted by men easily. In consequence the complicacies against the existance struggle of Turkish women in society became invincible. When we look at the way Sthendal points with the line "Novel is a mirror reflecting the street." İt becomes obvious that analyzing the novels through women characters will be useful to determine the evolution, alternation, lust and problems of Republican women. Pınar Kür, whose novels we've studied from this point of view, is named to be a modern women because of her family's properties, her education and her lifestyle. It's determined that she featured women and their distress in both social and internal livings in her novels widely. It's observed in seven novels we've analyzed, espacially working women standing alone in life were loomed large. Working and producing were suggested as a pre-condition for women's happiness. But also it's recognized that working women were not happy too. Sexuality is one of the major and mutual problems of women in Pınar Kür's novels. Some women in novels were disappointed bacause of their expectations about the first sexual exprience and some experienced undesired sexual intercourse. However sexual experience is discussed, it's always revealed with the effects on women's spiritual states. Marriage is one of the author's focus points. But she approaches marriage differently than the Turkish society's traditional point of view. Pınar Kür's ladies don't accept the signature enough for being committed to a spouse. Just like it's not obligatory to be married for men and women to share a living. Pınar Kür, who formed her leading characaters as well educated indivudials, reflects their political opinions adding to their physical and parental properties. It's an invincible point that the main characaters have socialist political views. The women characters reflects author's political thoughts with their socialist personalities. Adding to these Pınar Kür also used various novel technics in her creations. She told her writing processes in the lines where she was discussing the reasons heading one to write. The female author who supports the women freedom movement with her works of art has admirable postmodern novels in which she reveals her methods of novel writing.
