Product Description
While being a woman in a male-dominated profession is inherently difficult, being the first in this field requires even greater responsibility, courage, and dedication. The roots of the architectural profession, based on master building, are the most significant reason why creative thinking is associated with physical strength or, in other words, the male world. If Leman Cevat Tomsu’s story of entering the profession by graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1934 with Münevver Belen is compared with the stories of other pioneering female architects in Europe and America, one can see how significant an advantage the Republican ideology’s policies supporting women’s entry into the public sphere created in Turkey. In this book, Leman Tomsu is not only evaluated for being the first female architect. The pasts of individuals and families provide a unique field for understanding the social dynamics specific to the early periods of the Turkish Republic. Leman Tomsu’s biography carries significance for studies on family history during the Republican era, with a family story extending from the Tanzimat period to the Republic, and from Anatolia to Istanbul, while also revealing the unique conditions of women’s entry into public life in Republican Turkey from the perspective of women’s history.
