Abstract This study deals with Elif Shafak’s The Bastard of Istanbul, The Forty Rules of Love and Three Daughters of Eve from a postfeminist perspective. The three novels are analyzed in three chapters. The first chapter mentions postfeminism as a theoretical background and Elif Shafak as a postfeminist writer. The second chapter discusses the thematic aspects of postfeminism and applies them to the three novels. Among the themes that are discussed in these novels we have a new recognition of gender, individualism, work, family, marriage and motherhood. The third chapter delves into the technical aspects of postfeminism and how they apply to the three novels. Among the technical devices that tackled in these novels are metafiction, historiographic metafiction, intertextuality, magical realism, irony, playfulness, black humor and maximalism |
