Thereby, it could be considered as an important contribution to the development of a “materialist-cum-feminist theory of state” by adopting a relational perspective to enhance our understanding of “the limits and promises of the feminist interventions in and against the state” in general, and with a detailed critical analysis of “the capitalist-patriarchal gender selectivities of the state” in Turkey in particular. * Galip L. Yalman, Emeritus Professor, Middle East Technical University, Turkey *
