It has since become a symbol of desirable womanhood. This development has pushed Turkey's secular feminists, who had been critical of the headscarf ban, to the margins. This book is the first to trace this new phase of conservative gender politics by examining the images of women's headscarves across secular and Islamic news media. Based on the analysis of photographs and the columns of conservative women journalists, the book sheds light on how the AKP is transforming the image of womanhood. It also identifies the rise of the conservative female journalist as an important phenomenon in the country. Esra OÌzcan problematizes designators such as "Islamist women" or "Islamic feminists" and instead aims to understand these women in terms of their commitment to right-wing activism and politics, which has so far been ignored. An original contribution to feminist scholarship on Muslim women, this book draws on the unique perspectives of Visual Culture and Communication Studies."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $z Turkey. 650 0 $a Women conservatives $x Political activity $z Turkey. 650 0 $a Women $z Turkey $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Mass media $z Turkey. 650 0 $a Women in mass media. 650 0 $a Sex role $x History $z Turkey $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Islam and politics $z Turkey $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Hijab (Islamic clothing) $z Turkey. 651 0 $a Turkey $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 830 0 $a Gender and Islam series 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014544.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402015608.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D55B0778471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
