Özet:

 Mary Ajamī is considered the pioneer of the feminist movement in modern Syria. The founding role she played in Syrias cultural and literary life in the early 1900s attracted the attention of both the press and literary circles. Mary Ajamī who lived during the period when Syria was under Ottoman rule, as well as during the French and British occupation. The author, who is known for her struggle against all these administrations, will be discussed in this study not in terms of her political aspects and views but in terms of her contributions to the field of literature. In addition, her magazine al-Arūs, which she started to publish in 1910, will be one of the subjects of this study due to its acceptance as the first woman-specific magazine in Syria and the importance of the subjects it covers. This magazine, in which Ajamī published articles on important issues such as womens freedom, their role in society, and womens education, also published articles by Jibrān Khalīl Jibrān d. 1931, Ahmad Shawqī d. 1932, Hāfiz Ibrāhīm d. 1932, ez-Zahāwī d. 1936, Khalil Mutran d. 1949, Iliyyā Abū Mādī d. 1957 and Mihāil Nuayme d. 1988. The literary personality and contributions to the literary world of Ajamī, who has an important place in Syrias nahda movement and who has attracted the attention of different masses with the reformist ideology she adopted in the political field, will be the focus of this study.

 Mary Acemî, Suriyenin modern döneminde feminist hareketin öncüsü olarak addedilmiştir. 1900lerin başında Suriyenin kültür ve edebiyat hayatında oynadığı kurucu rol, ilerleyen dönemlerde hemcinslerine örnek teşkil ettiği için hem basının hem de edebî çevrelerin dikkatini çekmiş, bu sebeple hakkında birçok kitap ve makale yazılmıştır. Acemî, hem Suriyenin Osmanlı idaresi altında olduğu dönemi hem de Fransız manda yönetimi ve İngiliz işgali dönemini idrak etmiş bir isimdir. Tüm bu yönetimlere karşı vermiş olduğu mücadeleyle tanınan yazar, bu çalışmada siyasî yönü ve görüşleriyle değil edebiyat sahasına katkıları itibariyle ele alınacaktır. Ayrıca 1910 yılında neşretmeye başladığı dergisi el-Arûs, Suriyede kadınlara özgü ilk dergi olarak kabul görmesi ve işlediği konuların ehemmiyeti itibariyle bu çalışmadaki mevzubahis hususlardan biri olacaktır. Kadınların özgürlük meselesi, toplumdaki rolü, kadının eğitimi gibi birçok mühim mesele hakkında Acemînin kendi makalelerini yayınladığı bu dergi, Cibrân Halîl Cibrân ö. 1931, Ahmed Şevkî ö. 1932, Hâfiz İbrâhîm ö. 1932, Sıdkî ez-Zehâvî ö. 1936, Halîl Mutrân ö. 1949, Îliyyâ Ebû Mâdî ö. 1957 ve Mihâîl Nuayme ö. 1988 gibi birçok meşhur Arap yazar ve şâirin de çalışmalarını neşrettiği bir mecra olmuştur. Türkiyede hakkında henüz müstakil bir çalışmaya tesadüf etmediğimiz ve Suriyenin nahda hareketinde önemli bir yeri olan; bununla birlikte siyasî alanda benimsediği reformist ideolojiyle farklı kitlelerin dikkatini çeken Mary Acemînin edebî kişiliği ve edebiyat dünyasına katkıları bu çalışmanın odak noktasını oluşturacaktır.
