| Summary / Abstract (Note) | As a student of politics whose primary research interest is in women's political participation in Turkey, my engagement with the study of violence is through the lens of gender.1 In gender studies, "violence" is arguably the most important critical concept for the articulation of the personal as the political. Women's recognition that violence in their personal lives and intimate relationships needed to be problematized in the political realm and transformed through public debate was a revolutionary development. Bringing this recognition into the canon of political thought has been a major contribution of feminist theorists. |
