Socialist realistic poets have criticized the traditional perception of women in society. These poets, who have scrutinized the importance of women in social struggle within the scope of their views of the world, have considered women playing the leading role on the way to modernization. The criticisms of socialist realistic poets about the traditional perception of women focus on objectification of women, their being transformed into sexual objects, being forced to marriage at a young age, confinement and imprisonment within domestic sphere, being subjected to feudal mentality and being victims of honor killings. In these criticisms, while the woman is drawn as a loser and helpless, the inaccuracy of the traditional view is revealed. Poets criticizing the traditional perception of women are Rıfat Ilgaz, Gülten Akın, Ahmet Oktay, Yaşar Miraç, Özdemir İnce, Refik Durbaş, Ceyhun Atuf Kansu, Sennur Sezer, Hasan Hüseyin, Ahmet Telli, Attilâ İlhan, Hasan İzzettin Dinamo, Seyfettin Başcıllar. The poetry books of these poets published between 1960 and 1980 were taken as a basis and examined. As a result of this study, it is seen that socialist realist poets consider women as one of the important building blocks of society and therefore they want to demolish the traditional perception. The influence of the Marxist view they adopted on this desire can be considered.
