Istanbul-Armenian historian, University of Massachusetts researcher Lerna Ekmekcioglu archives the history of Armenian feminism and related books and works on her website.
The “Gazetekarinca” news site informing about this informs that the archived history covers the years 1860-1960.
The entire history and struggle of the movement that began in Istanbul, from the beginning of the 1860s to the 1960s, when the magazine “Young Armenian Woman” was published in Beirut, will be presented.
In 2016, Stanford University published Ekmekcioglu’s first monograph, “The Restoration of Armenia. Restrictions of Belonging in Turkey after the Genocide”. Lerna is currently preparing a textbook on Armenian feminists in the Ottoman Empire and the world after its fall.
