Abstract
Story, as a literary genre, has quite a long past. The Traditional story type which has remained crucial for centuries in Turkish literature has undergone many changes with the influence of the examples from Western narratives following the Tanzimat Period, which gave way to the development of the first examples of modern Turkish story. Story type in Turkish literature continued to develop mainly with the contribution of male writers during the early years of the Republican Period. Beginning from the 1950s, however, Turkish women writers began to appear in the field as well and the number of Turkish women story writers increased considerably in the years of 1960-1980.Turkey has undergone a number of noticeable social transformations beginning from the Tanzimat Period. Apart from the problems that were of social origin, events that originated at an individual base at first, and that got social characteristics in relation to their results in time became the topic of Turkish fictional works as well. The aim of this story which is named ?Social Problems at Turkish Women Writers? Works (1960-1980)? is to determine how and to what extent all these social problems have been included within the works of women writers which were published in the years of 1960-1980.Subject matter is not the most basic element of a literary work. However, it is a crucial tool of describing man who constitutes the most important material of a work of fiction. In that respect, what is principally expected from the writers who deal with social problems in their stories is that they should reflect these social problems in accordance with the characteristics of story art as much as possible. Accordingly, nearly fifteen women writers dealt with in this study can be said to have stories that are of such characteristics. Except for the writers who regard story as as a medium of expressing social problems, however, there are writers who do not deal with neither the related social problems nor the individual who experiences these problems and it is quite obvious that these writers have not contributed to the development of Turkish story.
