Summary/Abstract: This study is aimed to look at the effect on movies of academic feminist thought 1980’s in Turkey on the basis of the concept with “embarrassed feminism”. There is no strong feminist voice in these years and the problems of women are being investigated in the academy. Cinema is also changing in these years. It is also during this period that the category of women’s films, in which the issues concerning women and femininity are addressed, begins to emerge. Feminist discourse analysis reveals any ideology that has become invisible by naturalizing in the text. The conceptual framework of the study has been established in terms of “embarrassed feminism” that Tekeli was used to describe for the feminist movement there were weak feminist voices in Turkey. The point that was taken into consideration while establishing the conceptual framework was the change, transformation and self-assembly of the perpetrator. In the academy, Şirin Tekeli, Bir Yudum Sevgi (Atıf Yılmaz, 1984), Aygül in the film, Şengül, encountered in the Videosinema magazine, have examined the ways of being a feminist subject in the discourse order. In the study, the encounters, embraces, similarities and limitations of the subjects related to women’s identity between academic literature, popular literature and cinema were determined and discussed.
