Abstract
Abdülhak Hamit Tarhan (1852-1937) is the author of a large and
comprehensive volume of works is one of the most prolific authors in Turkish
Literature whose works range from poetry to drama. It can be easily deducted
through a rough analysis concerning his works that the poet/author had endorsed the
works published within the framework of "project of civilization" and pro-reformist
movements which occurred along the period beginning from Tanzimat Era
(Administrative Reforms in 1839) including İstibdat Era (Oppression) and
Meşrutiyet Era (Constitutional Monarchy) till the Proclamation of Republic in 1923.
There is also a general agreement among the pundits of literature and scholars who
carried out researches regarding Abdülhak Hâmit Tarhan that he scrutinized the
"female problematic" in his drams and poems. Although Gündüz Akıncı strongly
argued that "Abdülhak Hâmit Tarhan is the first feminist author in Turkish
Literature", it is remarkable that no research has been carried out regarding this
aspect of the author so far. Within the framework of this study, Abdülhak Hâmit
Tarhan's perspective of female problematic, his propositions concerning the solutions
and his contributions to the Ottoman-Turkish Feminist Movement has been argued
by means of analyzing his drama works, memories and letters
