Omer Caha is Professor of Political Science at Yildiz Technical University, Department of Political Science and International Relations, Istanbul, Turkey. He is interested in such issues as democratization, civil society, political behaviors, social movements and women's movements.
'A timely book on a highly important topic. Professor Caha discusses three branches of feminism in Turkey during the last thirty years: the liberal branch, the Islamic feminist movement, and the Kurdish women's groups. Although a meticulous scholar, the author is not just a neutral analyst but an engaged writer deeply committed to a social vision where women are given their rightful place.'Fred Dallmayr, University of Notre Dame, USA
