The story of Aslında Özgürsün, which the author wrote in 2001 and tells the impressive story of two women, is as follows: “Married, happy, with children” Belgin is in her kitchen and Berna is fighting for existence in high plazas. Two young women and best friends hold on to each other, defy the morality and taboos imposed by society and men, and seek their freedom and identity.
Journalist and writer Duygu Asena, who was born in 1946, passed away at the age of 60, on July 30, 2006, due to a brain tumor. Duygu Asena, who stepped into journalism in 1972, made a name for herself as a writer with her book named “Kadının Adı Yok” published in 1987. The ban of this book in 1988 because it was found obscene brought it even more recognition.
One of the pioneers of women’s rights advocacy and feminism in Turkey, Duygu Asena was one of the contradictory female characters of her time. Duygu Asena is of great importance as she is one of the first to take a step towards ensuring women’s freedom in Turkey.
