Bijani, Karolína ; Koláček, Jakub (advisor) ; Kříhová, Zuzana (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the first female pilots in Turkey and Iran at the beginning of the 20th century. In the given period, after the accession of Reza Pahlavi and Atatürk, widespread political and social reforms took place, one of which was the effort to emancipate women. In parallel with the changes in society, the state attempted to modernize the technical equipment, which manifested itself in the development of aviation. These two phenomena merged over time and women were given the opportunity to complete pilot training together with men. In her thesis, the author draws on secondary literature as well as sources in Persian and Turkish, the authors of which met the female pilots either directly in person or with people close to them. In the thesis, the cases of Turkey and Iran are placed side by side, and in addition to common or different characteristics, the author tries to identify the period influences that helped women to establish themselves in a purely male field.
