dc.description.abstractBoth English writer Jeanette Winterson and Turkish writer Elif Shafak are markedthrough their involvement with feminism. Considering their concern with mysticismas a reaction against the Orthodox religion which they believe gives support to thepatriarchal oppression of women, this study compares Winterson’s Sexing the Cherryand Shafak’s Pinhan. Winterson deals with Kabbala mysticism in Sexing the Cherrywhereas Shafak adapts Sufism in Pinhan. Both authors depict, in their novels, fluidcharacter identities who reincarnate in different times and spaces in different bodies.This attitude is considered, even though they adapt different types of mysticism, asthe reflection of their concern with spirituality, which they develop against thediscriminating patriarchal religion. By privileging spiritual reality over the physicalreality, they both annihilate women’s subjection to physical laws of patriarchy.en_US
