A Feminist Look to Fairy Tales and Gender Issues, Master’s Thesis, Advisor: Assoc. Prof. Güzin Yamaner, 148 p. Folk Tales are one of the most important building structures in the socialization of the children and the adults of the future. The philosophies in folk tales reflect the cultural codes of the society transmitted to readers with symbols including the gender roles. Children are expected to adopt them. Folk tales are texts aiming to socialize the reader and to transfer what is traditional to other generations. The concept of gender is based on traditional roles. Throughout the history, women are subordinated due to them. Folk tales are in an effort to bring its readers into consonance with the rules of the culture by domesticing them and coding the gender identities. Feminists made criticisims about the folk tales causing gendered personality. Due to this situation, women turn into dependent, subordinated people feeling the oppression. Folk tales are like a social pact. These clauses are put into contract by the patriarchy. In this context, three folk tales, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and Seven Dwarves and Cinderella chosen have been analysed with scientific methods on the basis of gender and feminist look. As a result of feminist reading, it is seen there is resemblance between the power vehicles of man and woman in the folk tales and power vehicles of man and woman in real life. Criticizing these vehicles make readers conscious about acquirement of the equal rights in the society and about woman solidarity. The thought that traditions are re-produced in folk tales and the fact that what is taught can be changed will have been supported. Keywords: Fairy Tales, Feminism, Gender, Patriarchy
