- Description
- This book traces the new phase of conservative gender politics by examining the images of women's headscarves across secular and Islamic news media. Based on the analysis of photographs and the columns of conservative women journalists, the book sheds light on how the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi - AKP) is transforming the image of womanhood. It also identifies the rise of the conservative female journalist as an important phenomenon in the country.
