What did the mother-in-law do, what did the daughter-in-law say?

Mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law, sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law... Relationships that sometimes run with solidarity and sometimes with competition, where body, beauty and social status are involved... Feelings such as admiration, approval, exclusion, jealousy and envy, sometimes expressed with compliments and sometimes with words... Who, Where is it in the big family story?

Of course, the institution we call family is not just about "blood ties". Çamoğlu, who conducts interviews with the aim of unraveling the dynamics of family ties established through marriage, deals with the family relations that lasted in the early Republic period from 1923 to the 1940s, specifically for women. By adding the novels written in the same years to the testimonies of women who lived through those years and are still alive, it creates a panorama of the period examined through the family. While it shows the "desirable woman" images of the period and the conflict between the "new family" and "traditional family" codes that were tried to be built, it also allows for a multi-layered reading.

What Did Dikmen Yakalı Çamoğlu's Mother-in-Law Do, What Did His Daughter-in-Law Say?
