Sorry to interfere but if one is only allowed to say something about others if everything is 'peaches and cream' in their own country/situation, then I think everyone should stop talking.

You like it or not, but this is how 80% of turkish women are. Why would we hide them and show just a little portion of turkish women that are "modern western type dressed" women?
These type of women you would like to see just exist in the cities, not even in anatolian cities. Even in İstanbul, they exist because they have just come from their villages and Turkey is not a country that has completely urbanized.
In Turkey when we say anatolian women, we understand the village people. It's very easy to judge a whole people from outside, but how would you dress like if you were to born in one of these villages? These women work in the fields, carry big loads on their backs, do the house work etc and they don't go to hair dressers. They have been dressing like this since hundreds of years, as someone said, in the east european countries, or in Georgia, in Armenia or in the russian villages, women dress like this as well.
In Turkey only the village girls that are too lucky to win a university education (it costs a lot to pass that exam), go to big cities and dress like the city people. But usually the hopes of these people are small, limited to just being like their mothers, marrying, having children etc. Expecting a turkish village girl to be a big woman right defender is far from reality.

The patriarchy is not a new thing, and it does not exist just in muslum countries. Even in one of the most modern countries France since the middle 1900s women didn't have the right to vote or even to have a bank account in their names.
So, just blaming people just because who they are today does not worth anything, because I'm sure if you were born as a girl in one of these villages, you wouldn't be what you are today. I think while being a passionate feminist or a woman right defender, you're sometimes being blind.
So, you like it or not, this is the face of Anatolian women, but instead of looking down on them, you can try to understand them.
