Abstract (2. Language): 
Moving from the case of Istanbul this paper emphasizes on the attitudes of Turkish society towards women’s status and roles. Based upon a field work carried out in Istanbul, in 2008, it quests how Turkish society perceives woman’s nature, her familial, social, economic and political roles. As the result of this investigation indicates Turkish society seems to develop an egalitarian attitude towards gender roles either in familial or social and political life. This can be associated to the modernization of Turkey that has been followed for two hundred years on the attempts to articulate women into the public life in particular through education and employment. It can be said that women have been taken by the ruling elites as the mark of Turkish modernization over the basis of western values. Despite the deep rooted patriarchal values in Turkish culture, perhaps this pattern of change has paved the way for the development of an egalitarian attitude towards gender roles in Turkish society.
