Halide Edib's memoirs are indispensable reading for anyone interested in the history of childhood and education in the late Ottoman Empire. Edib worked to spread public education, instituting schools in Istanbul and in the Arab provinces during World War I. Her account is vibrant and direct, off ering an excellent witness to this critical period during which the Empire collapsed.
Halide Edib lived through the most turbulent times in modern Turkish history. Most unusually for a woman of her day, she did so not only as an eyewitness, but as an active political participant. She was on close personal terms with powerful leaders such as Talat Pasha and Ataturk, but retained a critical and independent mind. All this gives her memoirs their unique character. The book provides new light on the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish nation.
Halide Edib (1884-1964) was a participant and partisan of the major events in Turkish twentieth century history. Self-educated, she was multi-lingual and multi-cultural. She was an ardent feminist. She served as information and public relations officer for the government of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and hence was close to the players and politics of the new regime. Sibel Erol is senior lecturer in Turkish in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies in New York City. The author of numerous professional scholarly articles, her work has appeared in American Association of Teachers of Turkic Languages Bulletin, The Middle East Journal and Middle East Studies Association Bulletin.
