Whereas labour migration had primarily been a male phenomenon throughout history large numbers of women began to migrate from the South in order to find work in the North of Europe in the 1970 s In the case of Turkey women of rural or small town background who had never been employed who were mentally unprepared and to some degree unwilling to leave their homes were suddenly urged by their mail relatives to take up industrial or service jobs in foreign countries By 1974 there were almost three times as many Turkish women working in Germany compared to the number of women in Turkish industry At that time Professor Nermin Abadan Unat raised a question on the potential influence that this migration could have on the emancipation or pseudoemancipation of these women who were leaving Turkey to become industrial workers abroad Four decades later this volume analyses how social political and religious changes in the home and host countries of the immigrant women influenced the predicted processes of change Has there been a significant increase in individual autonomy self determination and gender equality Or has a hasty modernization created a false climate of liberation or pseudo emancipation without significantly increasing selfdetermination and independence How has the very concepts of emancipation and migration evolved in the meantime How do the women themselves perceive their own situation Nineteen experts in social science and migration and gender studies have contributed to this study of the processes of emancipation and the pathways to empowerment of women who thought they were leaving temporarily but ended up spending their lives in exile Yazarlar Deniz Kandiyoti Nermin Abadan Unat Domınıque Schnapper Yeşim Arat Sema Erder Serpil Sancar Çiğdem Kağıtçıbaşı Gretty Mırdal Fatma Küçükyıldız Anıka Lıversage Czarına Wılpert Ruth Mandel Elısabeth Beck Gernsheım Ahmet İçduygu Deniz Karcı Korfalı Chrıstıane Tımmerman Kenneth Hemmerechts Nancy Foner Mırjana Morokvasıc
