Description
Summary:This article examines the variations of function of state feminism in two enemy brothers, Turkey and Greece, during two pivotal periods: the 1920’‑1930’, which were marked by the Kemalist legislative reforms and the state modernization in the two countries, and the 1980’, which brought reforms to the civil code under the pressure of the feminist movement. These juxtapositions show not only how law constitutes a malleable social and political construction, but also the relations between state feminism and women’s movement. Winpeace, a NGO created in 1996, which gathers Greek, Turkish and Cypriot activists, allows extending the analysis to 2000’ – a decade defined by the emergence of a pragmatic and bureaucratized feminist activism.
