Abstract

Based on the literature on gender roles, this study aims at analyzing masculinity through the eyes of Roma women living in İzmir. The study attempts to understand masculinity through the roles that women attribute to men in the process of the participation in family decisions, education of children, determination of the institution of marriage and participation in social- political life. The research is based on a qualitative study on Roma women living in Bergama, Karşıyaka and Konak districts of İzmir. According to the research findings, masculinity that exists in the Roman culture is produced through gender roles. The perspective of women and their expectations from men also play a role in the continuity of this culture.
