Reviews

"Women and Turkish Cinema is a fascinating and rich study of a complex subject... Certainly, anyone interested in Turkey, film or women’s oppression would find it worth the effort to beg, borrow or buy a copy." - William Alderson; Counterfire, July 2013."Women and Turkish Cinema is an undoubtedly important book, designed to broaden our awareness of a hitherto neglected topic." - Özge Samancı, Northwestern University; JOURNAL OF AMERICAN STUDIES IN TURKEY, 2013.
