In this study, women’s problems in P?nar Kür’s “A Woman to be Hanged” and Duygu Asena’s “Women Has No Name” will be discussed. It will also be discussed how two protagonists, a supressed and sexually abused woman and a rebellious woman towards male dominance are evaluated by two female authors from a feminist perspective. Based on two contemporaneous, yet completely dissimilar characters Melek [literally ‘Angel’] and the ‘unnamed woman’, this study will scrutinize the dynamics of a social shift (particularly for Turkish women) which goes from a state of acceptance and obedience to a state of freedom. Adressing feminist writers, legists, politicians and theorists, this study will underlie the struggle of (Turkish) women to the end of individual freedoms.
