'''“Absence is a ‘Shirt of Fire’: Literary Encounters with Zabel Yesayan and Halide Edib''' 

''Abstract'' 

Who is the subject of absence? Is it the one that is absent? Or is it the one that feels/acknowledges the absence? These are the main questions of the paper I am willing to present at Ozyegin University’s international workshop on “Transnational Perspectives on the 19th and 20th century Women’s Writing.” 

Zabel Yesayan was born in Istanbul, in 1978. Halide Edib was born in Istanbul in 1884. Zabel published her first novel in 1907. Halide’s first novel came out two years later, in 1909. The year 1909 was also marking the indisputable separation in these two Ottoman women writers’ lives which followed a quite parallel path up until then. 6 years after the Adana Massacre, Catastrophe came. In 1915 Zabel Yesayan managed to escape to Tbilisi. Meanwhile Halide Edib’s fame was raising as a “national” heroine, parallel with the rise of the Armenian –free new nation.
