Page "Kanto (music)" Paragraph 15

Among the themes explored by the new kantocu ( singer ( s ) or composer ( s ) of kanto ), the most frequent subject of satire was the new role of women after the formation of the Republic.

Songs like " Sarhoş Kızlar " ( Drunken Girls ) or " Şoför Kadınlar " ( Female Drivers ) were written in revenge for all the suffering women had endured at the hands of men in the past.

Other songs with similar themes include " Daktilo " ( The Typewriter ) ( which brought to mind the newly formed Secretaires Society ), " Bereli Kız " ( The Girl with the Beret ), " Kadın Asker ", and " Olursa " ( If Women Were Soldiers ).
