Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 20. yüzyılın başında kadınların süfrajet hareketine (oy hakkı arayışına) karşı çıktığı ve eserlerinde cinsiyet kalıplarını meşrulaştırdığı için eleştirilmiştir. Ancak, erkek ve kadın için eşit olmayan İngiliz boşanma yasalarının iyileştirilmesini desteklediği düşünülürse, kadın haklarıyla ilgili görüşlerinin çelişkili olduğu söylenebilir. Bazı Sherlock Holmes hikayelerinde Viktorya dönemindeki hukuk sistemi ve sosyal düzene açıkça bulunduğu atıflarla birlikte aile, evlilik ve cinsiyet kalıplarını da önemli konular olarak inceler. Kadınların evliliklerdeki toplumsal ve yasal konumlarına, aile içi şiddet ve boşanma ile ilgili yasaların katılığına da dikkat çeker. Bu çalışma, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’ın kadın hakları ve sözü edilen yasalar ile ilgili görüşleri üzerine farklı bir bakış açısı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, boşanma ve kadına karşı şiddet konuları ele alınarak, Doyle’ın boşanma yasaları ve kadınların evliliklerdeki yasal haklarının düzenlenmesi gerektiği fikrini bazı Sherlock Holmes hikayelerinde nasıl yansıttığı incelenmektedir.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been criticized for opposing to women’s suffrage in the early twentieth century and endorsing gender stereotypes in his works. However, his views on women’s rights were contradictory due to his campaign to reform British divorce laws which were unequal for men and women. Along with obvious references to Victorian legal system and social hierarchy, he displays family, marriage, and gender stereotypes as significant subjects in some of his Sherlock Holmes stories. He draws attention to the social and legal status of women in marriages, and the severity of laws about domestic violence and divorce. This paper aims to propose a different approach to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s views on these laws and women’s rights. With its focus on the issues of divorce and violence against women in some Sherlock Holmes stories, it discusses how Doyle mirrors his defence on reform of divorce laws and women’s rights, especially in marriages.
