Erkeksi Siyasetin “Erk”siz Dubl rleri (Powerless Doublures Of Masculin Politics)

Powerless Doublures Of Masculin PoliticsProblem statement: In order to gain equal rights with men, women have been struggling for two centuries and to some extent, this struggle has led them to achieve their rights to elect and to be elected in political area.
