ABSTRACT This study is a feminist exploration of how gender influences the professional and social lives of women judges in Turkey. I asked women judges from lower courts to talk about their professional journey to explore if and how gender emerges as a category that makes sense to them. Gender was sometimes more visible in the form of a “success” story of playing along men’s rules, or in memories of struggling to balance work and family; while other times it was more implicit in narratives on meeting expectations, failing expectations, ignoring expectations. All in all, these narratives attest to the gendered hierarchies and instances of institutional sexism in what is considered a masculine profession. They also reveal the prevalence of a particularly conservative and patriarchal culture upon the ways in which these inequalities and disadvantages are experienced by women judges in Turkey.

在土耳其司法文化中担任女法官

摘要这项研究是女权主义的探索，它探讨了性别如何影响土耳其女法官的职业和社会生活。我请下级法院的女法官谈谈她们的职业历程，以探讨性别是否以及如何成为对她们有意义的类别。有时以“成功”故事的形式表现性别，这是按照男人的规则打球，或者是在努力平衡工作和家庭的记忆中；而在其他时候，它更隐含在满足期望，失败期望，忽略期望的叙述中。总而言之，这些叙述证明了男性职业中的性别等级制度和制度上的性别歧视。
