Weimar Cumhuriyeti Döneminde Almanya, Avusturya ve İsviçre'de Kadınların Oy Hakkı (1918-1933)

The Weimar Republic (1918-1933) was an important turning point in German history, especially in terms of women's suffrage. Although this was a period of significant progress towards gender equality, at the same time, traditional role models that prevented women's full equality persisted. The transition from monarchy to republic brought significant social changes, including women's suffrage. This article sheds light on the development of women's suffrage in the Weimar Republic, its progress and setbacks, and takes a look at prominent women's rights activists, such as Clara Zetkin, who made significant contributions to the emancipation movement. In a way, it is in the nature of things that the women's movement has always been closely linked to progressive-liberal ideas and left-wing ideologies, and the struggle for and advocacy of women's rights in Germany is particularly associated with the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and other social democratic and socialist parties.Like the Weimar Republic, the founding of the Republic of Türkiye, also a transition from monarchy to republic, has similar aspects, and the most important milestones regarding women's issues should be briefly mentioned here. For example: The abolition of the caliphate on March 3, 1924, the new constitution on April 20, 1924, the hat reform in 1925, the enactment of a civil code modeled on the Swiss Civil Code in 1926, or the granting of active and passive suffrage to women at the local level on April 3, 1930 in preparation for universal suffrage for women in 1934.
