“…In traditional media, First Lady is mainly regarded as the appendage of her husband [29]. Meanwhile, her domestic features or images have been emphasized [29]. The meaning of the First Ladies' life has been shaped and constructed by traditional media, such as newspapers, as sacrificing all their lives to their husband and kids, indicating a subordinate position of women and a dominant role of men at the national level [29].…”

Similar to the impact of traditional media on gender issues, social media shows its impact on gender inequality as well.…”

“…The domestic realm has been predominantly viewed as the primary domain of women (Kandiyoti 1982, 1987). To illustrate, we can cite the following examples: until 2002, the Turkish Civil Code designated the husband as the head of the family and gave rights to him accordingly 1 ; until recently, women needed to take their husband's surname in addition to their own 2 , 3 ; and a woman's record in the population register is placed under her husband's family register after marriage 4 (for more on this issue, see Ugur-Cinar 2014).…”

This article examines the relationship between urbanization and women's empowerment through the Turkish case. The article first tests statistically the overall impact of urbanization on women's empowerment by tapping into educational, economic, and political indicators at the province level. The results yield a positive relationship between urbanization and women's empowerment. We argue that these empowerment indicators demonstrate the necessary conditions of women's empowerment, yet whether these are sufficient for women to feel empowered needs to be further tested. To do so, the article utilizes an extensive original survey of 334 well-educated urban women in 43 out of 81 provinces of Turkey to examine the extent to which the results found in the quantitative section are paralleled by the actual experiences of women. The survey analysis reveals prospects and obstacles that well-educated women face in old and new urban centers. This nonrandom, purposive sample of seemingly empowered urban women shows that the barriers faced by these women would easily multiply when lower strata of society are reached. The Turkish case demonstrates that societal transformations such as urbanization have an imprint on the fates of women, yet further women's empowerment needs collective action at the political, legal, and societal levels.

Political spouses have increasingly become the subject of public and academic interest alike. Scholarship in this area is still thin on the ground, and that which does exist tends to focus on political spouses from the Western world, who are mainly White and female. The vast majority of academic work focuses on the spouses of party and political leaders and is mostly preoccupied with the role of the US first lady. Research about political spouses in other countries is much scarcer and tends to analyze specific spouses at a given political moment, rather than providing a systematic overview of their role in political coverage. Many high profile spouses have received negative coverage because they have been deemed too political and interfering in affairs outside their public role. Recent scholarship looks at the ways in which political spouses have been mobilized in election campaigns. The increased presence of women leaders on the world stage requires more examination of the potential role that male partners might take on.
