Abstract
In Turkey, women acquired the right to obtain higher education in 1914. Women’s demand for higher education, the increased number of high schools and the needs of teacher-training schools for girls led to an increase in the number of women in higher education over time. After the nation-building process in 1923, new universities were opened across the country and the number of women in higher education has increased from 22 0.73% in 1914 to 3 675 986 47.5% . Within this framework, this paper aims to explore how female students’ profiles have changed over the last 100 years. What is the social make-up of the female students who enrolled in universities nowadays? What are the differences and/or similarities among women who attended the universities as first women students and those of today? Drawing on the Eurostudent Survey IV 2011 , these questions are elaborated regarding women’s socio-demographic, family and educational backgrounds. Outcomes are discussed within the context of the modernization history of Turkey
