Theme of “Marriage with a Foreigner”: Nationalism and Female Authorship in Early Republican Novel

Abstract

In two novels written by female authors, Sinekli Bakkal and Bahar Çiçe?i, on which I focus herein, it is claimed that while the new nation adopt a Western life style, its difference is built upon the “namus” of its female members and the marriage with a European man appeared as a profitable problematic to translate this “namus” principle into the nationalist discourse. So the female authorship seems to be dominated by nationalism. However, we can still hear a female voice in strong female characters. Thus, we should judge these authors as writers who try to express themselves as women under a dominant ideology.
