This study aims to give a meaning to the role of the intergenerational transmission of gender based values, attitudes and expectation in the reproduction and transformation of gender order in Turkey through understanding the transmission patterns between mothers’ and daughters’ gender based values, attitudes and expectations about divorce, marriage, power relations, women’s body, and women’s sexuality. A qualitative study with the involvement of 15 mother- daughter dyads (n=30) within the light of Feminist Standpoint Theory is designed to reach the voice of women. Experiences of women taken as the main source of knowledge which reached through semi- structured, in depth interviews in separate sessions. While salient transformations in gender order on the subjects of divorce, marriage and women’s sexuality are found in the study, it is observed that established gender order in the issues of women’s body is reproduced intergenerationally. The study contributes to the literature by demonstrating transformations and reproductions of patriarchal gender order through intergenerational relations between mothers and daughters in Turkey.
