Özet:

 We witness the existence of a female identity that is positioned and symbolized at the center of the identity constructions that constitute the triangulation point of Turkish modernization. The masculine mentality of modernization has primarily conceived of a female identity, and has constructed the conditions and limits of the positioning of this identity in a precise language. Especially novels play an important role in the construction of this female identity, which is operationalized through literature. When we look at our literary tradition in general, it is impossible not to see that male writers are not only numerous but also dominant in terms of authority. This not only implies a male-dominated structure in our literary world, but also reinforces that gender identities are also produced by male writers and that the image of a woman is created by men. With feminism becoming more widespread and rising as a value in the 1970s, women writers and womens sensitivity came to the forefront in our literature. Bildungsromans - as bildungsroman- are narratives in which the growth, development and maturation stories of male and female characters come to the fore. Since the late 20th century, bildungsromans, which have come to the fore by women writers, are seen as an important opportunity for women to construct their own identities and to show the masculine hierarchical structure in social life. In this context, Figen Şakacıs trilogy, one of the names that makes the mechanisms of oppression on women visible by bringing female protagonists to the forefront, will be discussed as an example of bildungsroman.

 Türk modernleşmesinin nirengi noktasını oluşturan kimlik inşalarının merkezinde simgeleşen bir kadın kimliğinin varlığına tanık olunur. Modernleşmenin eril zihniyeti öncelikli olarak bir kadın kimliği tasavvur etmiş bu kimliğin konumlandırılışının koşul ve sınırlarını da egemen bir dille kurgulamıştır. Edebiyat aracılığıyla işlerlik kazanan bu kadın kimliğinin inşasında bilhassa romanlar önemli bir yer edinir. Edebiyat geleneğimize genel olarak bakıldığında erkek yazarların sayıca çok olmalarının yanı sıra baskınbelirleyici bir rol üstlendikleri de görülmektedir. Bu da yazın dünyasında erkek egemen bir yapıyı imlediği gibi toplumsal cinsiyet kimliklerinin de erkek yazarlar tarafından üretildiği ve bir kadın imgesinin yine erkekler elinden yaratıldığı savını ortaya koyar. 1970lerle birlikte feminizmin de giderek yaygınlaşması ve bir değer olarak yükselmesiyle beraber kadın yazarların ve kadın duyarlılığının edebiyatımızda ön plana çıktığı görülür. Bireyin kendi olabilme serüveninin ele alındığı bildungsromanlar -bir oluşum romanı olarak- kadın ve erkek karakterlerin büyüme-gelişme ve olgunlaşma hikâyelerine odaklanan anlatılardır. 20. yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren kadın yazarlarca ön plana çıkan bildungsromanlar kadınların kendi kimliklerini inşa etme ve toplumsal yaşamdaki eril hiyerarşik yapılanmayı gösterme açısından önemli bir imkân olarak görülür. Bu çalışmada, bilhassa kadın kahramanları ön plana çıkararak kadınlar üzerindeki baskı mekanizmalarını görünür kılan isimlerden Figen Şakacının üçlemesi bir bildungsroman örneği olarak ele alınacaktır.
