Abstract
Being a woman and a writer is a duality that gains particular interest when contextualised in a specific time and place. The novels that this paper aims to analyse both have female authors as their protagonists, and both Doris Lessing's The Golden Notebook and Peride Celal' s Kadmm Romam (A Novel of Three Women) take place at around the same time--the mid-1950"s. However, while The Golden Notebook is set in London,Uc Kadinin Romani is set in Istanbul, thereby showing particular difference in the social and political structure. The principal concern of this paper is to offer an analysis of women writers of the times and to discuss their position in these two very different social atmospheres, as depicted in the novels in question. The two central characters in these novels, Anna and Fatma, will be compared and contrasted in terms of how they view their identity, womanhood, and how they are able to overcome this duality of identity.
