Religion as a factor influencing turkish women's decisions to work
(2013) O'Neil, Mary Lou; Bilgin, Mehmet Hüseyin
This article uses survey data collected from more than 500 women in Istanbul to examine whether or not religion exerts an influence on women's decisions to work or not. Our work revealed that religion does not appear to have a direct impact on whether or not Turkish women choose to work. Rather the expectation that women fulfill their traditional roles as caregivers proves a greater obstacle for women who wish to enter the labor market. Religion, in the case of Turkey, Islam, can only be seen asan influence on Turkish women's work decisions to the extent that it supports "patriarchal mentalities" which define women first and foremost as mothers and caregivers

The Not So New Turkish Woman: a Statistical Look at Women in Two Istanbul Neighborhoods
(2009) O'Neil, Mary Lou; Güler, Fazil
Using survey data gathered from nearly 400 women living in two Istanbul neighborhoods this article explores issues of work education family and feminism. In addition to presenting the findings we argue that there is a continued gap between the ideal of the Republican woman and the actual practices of this group of Turkish women. The picture of these Turkish women that emerged from this survey is that of women still largely in the grips of an ideal born in the early days of the Turkish Republic. However it also became clear that there also exist rifts between belief and practice in the lives of these women: they seem to believe in many facets of the Republican woman while at the same time the practices they engage in belie some aspects of this belief. Ultimately it seems that in some respects they are in the process of constructing their own idea of a Turkish woman while at the same time some aspects of these women's lives remain deeply bound by traditional notions of gender.

Economic Independence of Women in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Works
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2010) Yavaş, Ülkü; Lou Oneil, Mary
This thesis aims to analyze the works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman in terms ofeconomic independence of women in the view of feminism and gender identity. Gilmanadvocated that women should work and take part in the labor market to eradicate their oppression and to contribute to women's improvement. Feminism means to struggleagainst men's patronizing and dominating over women legally, socially andeconomically and to defend that women are humans rather than sex. Feminists defendthat women have the same intellectual and professional capacity to work as men.Accordingly, Gilman believed that women contribute more to human progress if theywere given the same opportunity and freedom as men. She harshly criticized women's being parasite who were not working outside but imprisoned at homes doing onlyhousework and childrearing. In this case, women are economically dependent to men:Husbands are employers while wives are employees.Gilman wrote utopic novels to present solutions for economic inequitiesbetween men and women. She tried to reconstruct new modern gender roles for women,and to clear away the former constructed gender roles of the man-made world. In theirutopic countries, Gilman's strong and independent women characters have no pressuresof this man-made world. Adopting Herbert Spencer's conception of Social Darwinism,Gilman claimed that if women had to fall behind men in time by the social evolution;they can regain their economic, intellectual and social independence by social evolution.For Gilman, a social evolution is essential, and this needs women?s economicparticipation.
The Integration of Turks Into American Culture
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2011) Yıldırım Dayı, Gonca; O'Neil, Mary Lou
The United States has been the land of opportunities and dreams for Turkish settlers since the nineteenth century. Since Turks first began immigrating to the U.S in 1820 almost 300000 Turkish immigrants have arrived in the country according to the immigration and Naturalization Service. This number proves that there has been mass immigration there. Besides this it shows that there are factors which push Turkish settlers to live and work there for an extended period of time. in this study the different waves of Turkish immigration are focused on since the factors which push and pull immigrants are directly related to the time period in which the immigration occurs. Moreover the sociological perception of immigration period in which the immigration occurs. Moreover the sociological perception of immigration this respect settlers' observations of America are applied to the six stages models of assimilation by Elliott Barkan to determine if the Turks have assimilated or integrated into the American way of life.

Effects of Gender on Credit Card Usage Among University Students in Turkey
(Academic Journals, 2011) Ucal, Meltem Şengün; O'Neil, Mary Lou; Cankaya, Serkan
In recent years much has been written about credit card usage among university students. Despite a vast number of studies little has been written about credit card usage among university students in developing countries. This research surveyed university students in Turkey in an attempt to understand their uses of credit cards. In particular we examined the impact of gender on credit card use. The literature on the impact of gender on credit card usage is a bit unsettled and this study seeks to add another dimension to the research in this area. Using both parametric and nonparametric measures we sought to isolate gender and tested whether or not it affects the ways that young people in Turkey use credit cards. The importance of this research centers on the portrait it provides of credit card usage among young people in a developing country as well as to pointing the factors that may influence future credit card use.

You Are What You Wear: Clothing/Appearance Laws and the Construction of the Public Citizen in Turkey
(Berg Publ, 2010) O'Neil, Mary Lou
As Turkey set its sights on modernization and Westernization in the early decades of the twentieth century, clothing reform took center stage. The state used clothing as a constitutive element in its establishment and continues to legislate appearance as a means to maintain its power and create a model public citizen that will support it. Today there exists an extensive regulatory regime on clothing and appearance in the public sphere, which induces those governed by it to dress in a "modern" fashion. An examination of these regulations reveals the deeply politicized nature of clothing in Turkey which is guided by the assumption that you are what you wear. While choice of clothing and appearance is neither entirely free nor fully prescribed, dress codes do further restrict already limited choices. Dress codes undermine the relationship thought to exist between individual belief and appearance. Dress codes, in the case of Turkey, are dictated by the state; therefore, the appearance of students and state employees does not necessarily represent their belief but that of the state. The Turkish state, through the use of dress codes, continues to try and produce "modern" citizens, meaning Western and secular.

Competing Frameworks of Islamic Law and Secular Civil Law in Turkey: a Case Study on Women's Property and Inheritance Practices
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Toktaş, Şule; O'Neil, Mary Lou
The article stems from empirical research conducted with a group of women living in Istanbul who have conservative life styles bounded by an Islamic worldview. It attempts to illuminate the negotiation and contestation between the official civil law and Islamic law. The findings demonstrate that women inherit and bequeath property in a social setting where their gender roles are defined by their adherence to Islam. We argue that in Turkey women's inheritance practices are not determined solely in accordance with the secular civil law but rather are the result of a complex and intertwined combination of legal sources where an Islamic worldview often leads to the adoption of Islamic law. In other words the application of the secular civil law in Turkey is limited by the common practice of Islamic law. Rather than follow the gender equality mandated by the civil law the inheritance practices of many Islamic women are constituted with a deference to some aspects of Islamic law creating a situation of legal pluralism in Turkey.

Rape Comparative Study on Feminist Perspectives Privileged Feminists Black Feminists and Turkish Feminists
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2006) Emanet, Zühre; O'Neil, Mary Lou
Is it possible to assume that “rape” has one specific determination? Is it possible to find different definitions of rape around the world? If women are most frequently victims of rape, is it about being women? Is there a relationship between gender asymmetry and rape in society? Can culture, ethnicity, race, class or gender make a difference while determining the crime? Is it only a crime? Can the perception of such a crime make difference depending on where you stand? How do women perceive this violence? Rape is a fact of everyday life. It is not an isolated phenomenon. This paper examines three different feminist perspectives. Black feminism and privileged feminists in the U.S, and Turkish feminism are studied in order to find out if the perception of rape can differ. This paper reveals the fact that determination of rape changes depending on where the determiner stands, how the determiner perceives society, how the determiner defines woman. The social explanation of rape can be different depending on the woman’s experience. In the determination of the rape, feminists’ class, race, ethnicity, nationality are factors while in explaining the issue
