The Turkish mother gives herself “totally” to her child and this is sustained by the social discours to the extent that, when she fails her role, she is directly perceived as betraying the Other. Even though the mother’s ambivalence is present, it can not be expressed and this often leads her to act. At this point, it seems important to question the separating factors that intervene in the relationship between mother and child. How ran femininity find a ground of expression in a society, which holds an opposite discourse about womanhood? Turkish women are responsable for repressing all sorts of drives and at at the same time are the held as the agents, who allow the accurate development of modernity.
