Abstract
This article is based on Jale Parla’s lecture at the Women’s Research Club (Boğaziçi University) on March 8, 2008. Here Parla discusses the possibilities of women’s epic as a genre. The answer is clear: women’s epic does not promise a meaningful means for women’s empowerment. Feminist perspective does not ask for heroes, it asks for solidarity, togetherness, and everyday acts as meaningful deeds for the benefit of all living together.
