Abstract
Significant developments occurred in many fields in the Ottoman Empire, after it undergone social transformation with the period of Westernization. Women who stayed in the background in Ottoman society gained a respectable place by becoming more active with the period of westernization. During this process, women whose education level rose, also became interested in art. Women first met with art after the girls from the prominent families of the period took private painting lessons and were sent abroad for education. Fine arts education of women was performed by Inas Sanayi-i Nefise School, which was officially opened in 1914. The women painters who were trained in this school, where the important artists of the period gave education, made important contributions to the Turkish art of painting. These artists, who represented our country with their works both at home and abroad, pioneered the next generations. This study focused on the contributions of the works of Muzdan (Sait) Arel, Nazlı Ecevit, Guzin Duran, Melek Celal Sofu, Belkis (Mustafa) Hanım, Fahrunnisa Zeyd and Sabiha (Rustu) Bozcali, who were educated at Inas Sanayi-i Nefise School, to Turkish painting.
