"This thesis examines women's changing fashions throughout the Armistice period to understand the transformation of Istanbul women before the foundation of the Turkish Republic exploring mainly articles published in popular women's periodicals. The hypothesis is that Turkish women in Istanbul experienced a relative liberty most explicity in their clothing due to the extraordinary conditions of the Armistice period that would later contribute to their emancipation movement after the foundation of the Republic."
