dc.description.abstractSelma Rıza is noted to be an inspiring woman who was a journalist and an advocate in different political and social bodies. Her novel, Uhuvvet, explicates the different aspects of women living within Turkish society. Importantly, Selma Rıza not only affected society through her writings, but also through different positions she took, some of which include: literature, health, politics, and education. She worked in the Red Crescent and was involved in the Committee of Union and Progress. Her uniqueness was also derived from her family members, specifically her brother, who partook in the Young Turks. Selma experienced struggles due to the patriarchal nature of the society that dismissed the contributions of women. Needless to say, her legacy was further humbled by the lack of adequate sources that detail her eventful life and hard work. This research is an effort to contribute to the literature about Selma Rıza.en_US
dc.description.abstractSelma Rıza yetenekli bir gazeteci ve aynı zamanda farklı siyasi ve sosyal yapıların savunucusu olarak tanınmıştır. Kendisinin yazdığı başarılı eseri olan Uhuvvet’te Türk toplumunda yaşayan kadınlarının farklı yönlerini incelemiştir. En önemlisi de, Selma Rıza sadece yazılarıyla değil aynı zamanda edebiyat, sağlik, siyaset ve eğitim gibi üstlendiği farklı pozisyonlarla da toplumu etkilemeyi başarmıştır. Hilal-i Ahmer’de (Kızılay) çalışmış, İttihat ve Terakki de yer almıştır. Başarılı gazeteciyi benzersiz kılan özelliklerinden biri de mensub olduğu ailenin üyeleri, özellikle de Jön Türklere katılan ağabeyi Ahmet Rıza’dır. Selma kadınların katkılarını reddeden, toplumun ataerkil niteliği nedeniyle mücadeleler yaşamak zorunda kalmıştır. Olaylarla dolu hayatını ve sıkı çalışmasını detaylandıran kaynakların olmaması onun bıraktığı mirası daha da değersizleştirmiştir.en_US
