Conclusion
As a conclusion, Dussap is an important Armenian female writer who became popular in the
field of both feminism and literature in the period he lived among both Turkish and Armenian
women. At the first stage, her family and the education she received had an extremely
important contribution in her growth in this way. Investigation and translation of Dussap's
works into Turkish and other foreign languages will make significant contribution to the
clarification of many questions on women's movements and taking part of women in literary
life in the Ottoman. Although the Armenian family structure was mainly based on by Dussap
in her works, she is noteworthy in terms of giving us some basic tips about women's
movements of both Turkish women in the Ottoman Empire and other ethnic groups living
within the Empire due to the period she lived and the community where she is included.
