The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the complex and multidimensional relationship of women to the idea of nations and nationalism. In particular, it seeks answers to the following questions: What did nationalism mean to women? How did they imagine the nation? How did they respond to the gendered nationalist discourses? How did they exercise their agency as social actors in the nation building project? With an inquiry of such questions, this study challenges the perception of the "woman question" as "a struggle in which male protagonists engaged each other while women remained surprisingly passive onlookers." This study rather explores the dialectical relationship between woman-as-objects, who have been discussed and portrayed as a static, homogenous form within nationalist discourses, and woman-as-subjects who actively participated in constructing and/or contesting nationalist discourses while tracing the continuities and discontinues in nationalist discourse. In other words, this study lets female intellectuals speak in their own terms and in their historical contexts. In order to do so, this study concentrates on two pioneer female intellectuals who were actively involved in constructing national identity in the late Ottoman Empire and the early Turkish Republic: Halide Edib [Adivar] (1884--1964), a novelist, an activist, and an ardent nationalist who also took part in the Turkish War of Independence (1919--1923), and Ayse Afet [Inan] (1908--1985), one of the adopted daughters of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the first female historian of the Turkish Republic, and the ideologue of Kemalist master narrative.
