“Women in Cages”; Representations of Married Women in the Works of Sevim Burak and Ursula K. Le Guin

Öz

Since the beginning of history women have been regarded as weak, emotional, caring and thought to be suitable for some jobs and not the others; due to the biological differences, they have been regarded the nurturers of the family, the care taker of house. The belief that it is women’s job to generate the future has made house the only place where she belongs and thus becoming a cell for not only wives but also unmarried women. The oppression that most women suffer from since the very beginning originates mainly in families and further develops in patriarchal societies. This article revisits the works of Sevim Burak and Ursula K. Le Guin as two significant authors from very contrasting societies, religions and backgrounds, creating different genres as well as writing styles and it claims that as a consequence of experiencing womanhood in patriarchal societies they explore on very parallel feminist themes. In their works, we come across with women characters who are systematically oppressed by individual or collective forces. In this context this article proposes that much as Burak and Le Guin differ in representing the oppression in their unique ways, they both consider marriage as a form of individual oppression and the very similar ways marriage oppresses women are presented in their works, which proves that regardless of the society, experiences of women are similar so are the ways they are included in literature.
