Greek Cypriot women in contemporary Cyprus : with special reference to the 1974 war and its consequences
This thesis is an attempt to develop an understanding of
the position of women in Cypriot society. The empirical
work concentrates on the life cycle of two groups of
Greek Cypriot women, rural and urban respectively, and
the experiences of those women whose husbands were
killed or lost as a result of the 1974 Turkish invasion
of Cyprus.
Societies produce certain forms of social control to
maintain existing social relations. In times of crisis,
when the very existence of the state itself is under
threat, social regulation becomes more explicit; in
particular areas it may be extended and its oppressive
effects are exacerbated.
The thesis starts by looking at those women in Cyprus
who were directly affected by the war and goes on to
consider rural and urban women more generally in
chapters 7 and 8. These two chapters contain extensive
illustrations of the social, economic and political
oppression of women and the way in which this is
produced and reproduced through commonly held
traditional sets of beliefs and established social
practices, reinforced by the powerful institutions of
Church and state. The discussion of the position of
Greek Cypriot women is set in the wider context of Greek
Cypriot history and the general socio-economic and
political background of Cyprus. It is further informed by an examination of Greek Cypriot family law, both
common law and canon law, which analyses the specific
ways in which it operates to women's disadvantage.
The last chapter presents an overview of the historical
and contemporary positions of Greek Cypriot ,women in the
light of the ethnographic research, examines conditions
for maintenance and potential change of positions and
offers suggestions for future research. Finally the
thesis addresses the following questions: What has
feminism to offer Greek Cypriot women? What new
insights has the case of Greek Cypriot women to offer to
the general arguments of feminism
