This paper examines the emergence of female religious leadership within the Alevi community in Germany through the "Ana-Dede Education" (Ana-Dede Eğitimi). I argue that this shift represents an "Alevi Reformation" that creates significant chances and challenges within the transnational space. The institutionalization of female leaders (anas) by the Alevi Federation of Germany (AABF) offers the chance to both challenge and transform traditional, patrilineal gender orders into an education-based model. This reconfiguration shifts the locus of legitimacy from inherited ocak lineages to institutional recognition, acting as a transnational catalyst that generates reformist pressure on Alevi communities in Turkey. However, this transnational negotiation raises critical questions: How does a "gender regime" function when the drive for equality is largely managed by male religious elites? To what extent does the secular-religious divide influence female agency, particularly when secular women's branches refrain from feminist claims to "bargain with patriarchy" for communal stability? Based on ethnographic interviews and observations, the paper analyzes the tensions between inherited and acquired authority and the reception of female anas across borders. Does this "Alevi Reformation" lead to a genuine deconstruction of patriarchal hierarchy, or is it a strategic adaptation to modern, transnational expectations of gender equality? By addressing these questions, the study highlights how Alevism navigates patriarchal anxieties while drawing on its own traditions to respond to modern challenges.
