Atatürk was born 1881 and finished his formal education around 1900, though I guess he never stopped educating himself. It is said that he was an avid reader.
He founded the Turkish Republic in 1921 and immediately enacted sex equality; he was already deeply convinced by then that women should be equal under the law and in all aspects of life.
I wonder which feminists in particular he read. Who convinced him to become so adamant about this?
I also wonder if The Second Sex is going to mention him or Turkey. I've just finished Volume 1, Part 2, Chapter 4. Part 2 is about women's rights throughout all history, and chapter 5 is the last, so it should now talk about recent developments I guess. (The book was published 1949.)
