Summary/Abstract: How to Asiye Nasıl Kurtulur?, written by Vasıf Öngören, the work tells about the social corruption and collapse of economic life through a woman. The work, which was adapted into a movie by Atıf Yılmaz in 1986, is considered a rich work because it can turn into another art form in this sense. The character of Asiye was dragged into a life other than what she wanted and could not establish herself as a woman. In this work, society’s wrong perspective towards women is also questioned. A general content analysis of the play, which is centered on the women’s issue, was made. It was produced from my doctoral thesis titled ‘Adaptations from Theater to Cinema and a Model Writer: Vasıf Öngören’. When evaluated under the title of Women and Art, women’s problems have been expressed in world theater texts for centuries. In this subject, which is handled in a completely objective manner by a male writer, not only a woman’s inability to realize herself, but also the criticism that she has no choice in the face of life is made. In the general plot of the play, Asiye resisted not to become a prostitute like her mother, but she failed. Her right to education was also taken away. With the deprivation of a woman’s right to education, her difficulties in working life in social life are described. The issues such as harassment and discrimination that she was unfairly exposed to in the jobs she worked before becoming a prostitute are conveyed to the reader in a clear language. In the play, which has a critical attitude on the axis of exploitation and marketing of the female body, the cruelty of the industrial and capitalist world is expressed. This play supported this critical attitude with songs.
