DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the representations of women living in the
  Ottoman Empire in the masculine-dominated satirical press of the late nin
 eteenth and early twentieth century. It focuses on two satirical journals:
  Diyojen\, the first journal of its kind\, issued between 1870 and 1873\; 
 and Kalem\, a prominent publication in the empire between 1908 and 1911. T
 his was a significant moment in the political and social life of the empir
 e\, with the emergence of nationalist ideas within the public sphere in th
 e aftermath of the Young Turk Revolution (1908) and the implementation of 
 the Ottoman constitution. Further\, women writers and publishers took on m
 ore prominent positions within the national press\, representing a shift i
 n the social position of women. The paper demonstrates this socio-politica
 l change in the visual representation of women during this period through 
 a comparative study of these two journals. Ultimately\, the paper reveals 
 several strategies used by the masculine-dominated press to influence publ
 ic opinion regarding the changing place of women within the society.
