Summary/Abstract: The intention of women to change their postures in the world (with an article published in 1971) is a very recent date. Process for women artists in Turkey is slightly different than others. Especially in terms of ceramic art. Anatolia is a rich geography with its lands suitable for ceramic production and its history where women are considered goddesses. It was with the Republican era that women living in this geography met with the contemporary ceramic art after taking part in traditional ceramic production - less or more. Ceramic's effort to be within the borders of art as a material and the effort of women artists to be in the art world act simultaneously. The place of this effort in today's women's movement is very important in terms of the image of the woman to be formed in social memory. In this study is aimed, clay (or earth) and women relationship from the past, at determining the transmission path to the future in Turkey art.
