Two Fin de Siecle Literary Feminists Across the Waters: Halide Edip and Virginia Woolf

Abstract

Around the turn of the century, women’s literature emerged as a self-reflexive field whereby issues regarding female authorship were debated. Literary production became a part of the social project of re-writing history by including “her” story. This paper will revise the twentieth century European women’s literary history by incorporating the Turkish perspective, which will reciprocally serve to contextualise the Turkish angle in the broader European framework. I will compare a couple of pairs of representative writers in an attempt to show where the Turkish authors fit within the general patterns in Europe.
