In Turkey, women have started to become apparent with
a conservative woman identity since the 1980’s. The main reason for this is
that before the 1980's period, generally within “the woman” category, without
making any allocations, we refer to woman's perception or change and
transformation of conservatism.  In particular,
“conservative woman” is proprietarily addressed after 1980. The subject of
research in this regard, predominantly from the 1980, is to investigate the
change in perception of conservative women. The
issue, primarily from the Reformation period to the Republic, then from the
proclamation of the Republic to the end of 1980’s and finally from 1980’s to
today, is discussed in the context of the position of women. Substantially, with the Second Constitutionalist
period, topics like the statute of woman in family and society and woman’s
rights started to be questioned and this questioning transformed to several
gains with the Proclamation of the Republic. Thus, after this period the
appearance of woman, who is actor in social life, started to increase. In this
study, changes in the perception of conservative women are explained in the
framework of; feminism, patriarchy, women's bodies, gender, public and private
space and the headscarf debate. The main objective of this study is in relation
to the change in women's perception and the results revealed in terms of the
source of formation of today's conservative women's consciousness. For this
purpose, a historical and social process-based method of expression was
undertaken.
