<![CDATA[Headscarves controversy still overshadows the life of modern Turkey. In Orhan Pamuk‟s Snow, to modernize the state, the secularist elites implement secularism by unveiling women. Implementation is through banning the headscarves wearing in public buildings, including school, that its executions dominate Moslem women. In reverse, Moslem women, who are represented by the characters named Kadife, Hande, and Teslime, resist the domination to defend their rights upon wearing the headscarves for the sake of practicing their religion, Islam. Grounded upon the findings, this study questions upon (1) how is secularist‟s domination upon Moslem women depicted in Orhan Pamuk‟s Snow? and (2) how do Moslem women show their resistance against secularist‟s domination in Orhan Pamuk‟s Snow?
