ABSTRACT
This chapter attempts to analyze the journey of the feminist movement in Turkey by considering its development through institutions in the 1990s and 2000s. The feminist movement, which had developed as a radical critique of traditional institutions and values, could not have been expected to lean towards organizations such as political parties, associations, foundations, or labor unions. Besides the above-mentioned organizations active at the national level, numerous womens organizations operating at the local level also emerged after 1990 within the feminist movement. The feminist womens movement, along with institutional activities in the forms of associations, foundations, and corporations, has also performed notable activities in the field of publications. Magazines that emerged in the 1990s and the 2000s belonged not to certain feminist movements, but to certain groups. In the 1980s magazines were the transmitters of different feminist perspectives and each egalitarian, socialist, or radical feminist group was centered on a magazine.
