It chronicles the journey of the New Woman from the neoliberal global era to the\u003cbr\u003epopulist moment in the twenty-first century to show how the New Woman has gone from being a\u003cbr\u003edesirable employee in the global service economy to a precarious body that faces the risk of violence in\u003cbr\u003ethe right-wing populist moment. The book argues that those emotional and embodied capacities, which\u003cbr\u003ehad made the New Woman attractive to service employers, catapulted her into the center of highly\u003cbr\u003econtentious politics as both a feminist icon of resistance and the target of violent hostility during the\u003cbr\u003ereign of Turkey's government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEsra Sarioglu\u003c\/strong\u003e received her PhD from Binghamton University in 2013 and is currently a researcher at the Center for the History of Emotions, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin.
