Armenian Feminists: Hayganush Mark and Hay Gin
Dr. Lerna Ekmecioglu considers the history and lasting legacy of the Armenian women’s journal Hay Gin and its influential founder, Hayganush Mark. Hay Gin was one of the first feminist journals in post-Ottoman Turkey and the only one that survived the establishment of the Turkish Republic. One of the leaders of the Armenian women’s movement in post-World War I Istanbul, Mark was an ardent feminist whose unwavering commitment to women’s rights and dedication to Hay Gin continue to inspire generations of Armenian women.
