FROM TURKEY TO LITHUANIA: HOW EQUAL WOMEN TO MEN, HOW ACTIVE WOMEN IN PATRIARCHY
This article aims to examine the recent past of Turkey and Lithuania together with Turkish andLithuanian woman directors and their movies in the sense of feminist approach. Even though bothcountries have different historical backgrounds, the period between the 1980s and 1990s have aprofound impact on the very similar aspects of both countries such as economic, social, cultural andgender. On the one hand, while Lithuania was gaining its freedom and almost started facing a new eracalled post-Soviet, on the other hand, Turkish Republic was experiencing its third military takeoverthroughout its history in the very morning of 12th September 1980. While Turkey was under militarycontrol and restrictions during the 1980s, Lithuania was substantially close to being independent andself-governed. However, these noticeable changes had various side effects during the 1990s mainly onwomen both in Turkey and Lithuania. Through looking at politic, economic, social and culturaldifferences, it will be questioned how effective the patriarch is and how women reclaimed their voicesto be visible and to fight for gaining their social rights in two different located countries as one in theEuropean Union territory and the other one in Western Asia and Southeastern Europe.
