This article aims to address a gap in feminist literature by comparing the lives, contributions, and social contexts of Virginia Woolf and Şirin Tekeli. Through the analysis of their works within cultural frameworks, it seeks to provide new insights into feminist thought, women’s rights, and gender roles. The study highlights parallels between the gender norms of their respective eras and the ongoing struggle for gender equality. By first providing an overview of Woolf and Tekeli, the analysis focuses on historical and cultural transformations in order to understand the complexities of gender dynamics. It applies Woolf’s concept of a “room of one’s own” as a metaphor for women’s intellectual and creative liberation. The study then transitions to Istanbul, focusing on Tekeli and the Women’s Library and Information Center Foundation’s efforts to challenge traditional gender norms and uncover hidden aspects of women’s lives. In summary, this article enhances the understanding of gender dynamics by highlighting the interrelated nature of Woolf’s and Tekeli’s feminist endeavors and their commitment to advancing women’s narratives.

Bu makale, feminist literatürdeki boşluğu gidermeyi hedefleyerek Virginia Woolf ve Şirin Tekeli’nin yaşamlarını, katkılarını ve toplumsal bağlamlarını karşılaştırmaktadır. Eserlerinin kültürel çerçeveler içinde analiz edilmesi yoluyla feminist düşünce, kadın hakları ve toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri konularında yeni bir bakış açısı sunmayı amaçlar. Çalışma, her iki dönemdeki toplumsal cinsiyet normları ve süregelen toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği mücadelesi arasındaki benzerlikleri ortaya koyar. Woolf ve Tekeli’nin kısa biyografik özetleriyle başlayan analiz, toplumsal cinsiyet dinamiklerinin karmaşıklığını anlamak için tarihsel ve kültürel dönüşümleri vurgular. Woolf’un kadınların entelektüel ve yaratıcı özgürlüğüne dair bir metafor olarak kullandığı “kendine ait bir oda” kavramını derinlemesine inceler. Ardından, İstanbul’a odaklanarak, Tekeli ve Kadın Eserleri Kütüphanesi ve Bilgi Merkezi Vakfı’nın toplumsal normlara karşı çıkma ve kadınların yaşamlarının örtük yönlerini ortaya çıkarma çabalarını değerlendirir. Sonuç olarak, makale, Woolf ve Tekeli’nin feminist mücadelelerinin kesişim noktalarını ve kadın anlatılarını ilerletmeye yönelik ortak kararlılıklarını vurgulayarak toplumsal cinsiyet dinamiklerine ilişkin anlayışı derinleştirir.
