Attitude of Women to Urbanisation and Westernisation

Visit to Alaynl. Sitting in Muhtar's 'ev'. Mustafa Aksoyb's wife, an Ankarali, {gl: This man left the village c1946 to trade in Ankara. I visited him after
1986 in his shop in Saman Pazari Ankara. At this minute I cannot remeber his surname not exactly Demirci but I think he is now in database} visiting her
husband's relatives in these villages, came with her 'grmce' {HZ}, an Alaynl woman. Ane, the Ankara girl, wearing W. clothes and obviously different fr. the
village women, though I understand her father was a kyl who moved to Ankara. The Alaynl women showed much the same curiosity to her as to me - curiosity about
her clothes, her hair, her manners. To these women, apparently, coming fr. Ankara or fr. England, means much the same. They are both another country - far
away, of which they know nothing. Cannot conceive that England is another country and far away, and that there are noticeable differences between Ankara women
and English.
