Brought under control by certain rules and regulations, foreign schools have always been seen as a threat to national identity. The rise of Pan-Turkism after the losses in the Balkans particularly, caused a strict policy to be adopted towards different cultures. During the Republican Period as well, the aspects of foreign schools, which could pose a threat to national identity, were attempted to be inhibited. The novels canonized in the process of building a national identity also could not remain indifferent to this threat. The novels, Mufide Ferit’s “Pervaneler”, Mehmet Irfan’s “Kız mı Çiçek mi Yahut Mini Mini Nadire”, Halide Nusret’s “Gül’ün Babası Kim”, and Necmettin Halil’s “Kolejli Nereye” had foreign schools as their main topic. The novels, Halide Edib’s “Son Eseri” and “Mev’ut Hüküm”, Yakup Kadri’s “Sodom ve Gomore” and Reşat Nuri’s “Çalıkuşu” give us some important clues about the subject, although they do not directly focus on foreign schools. Despite the different approaches they have, the names mentioned in this respect reach the conclusion that it is the female gender which is open to the negative effects of foreign schools. These conclusions show the connection created -intentionally or unintentionally- between gender and being influenced.
