Women in the Ottoman Empire
I.B. Tauris (Verlag)
978-0-7556-3826-0 (ISBN)
In this book, the agency of women from a diverse range of class, religious, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds is, for the first time, woven into the social and political history of the Ottoman Empire, from the early-modern period to its dissolution in 1918. Suraiya Faroqhi charts the history of elite and non-elite women in thematic chapters concentrating on urban women, family life, work, slavery, education and survival in times of war. In the process the book introduces readers to the key sources, primary and secondary, necessary to reconstruct and understand the ways that females navigated social, legal and economic constraints, through the central prisms of family relations, work and charity. The first introductory social history of women in the Ottoman Empire, and including a timeline and extended further reading section, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students of Ottoman history and the history of women in the Middle East.
Suraiya Faroqhi is Professor Emerita at Ibn Haldun University, Turkey. She has previously held positions at Istanbul Bilgi, Turkey, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Germany and the Middle East Technical University. A leading expert on the social history of the Ottoman Empire, her books include Subjects of the Sultan (I.B.Tauris, 2000), The Ottoman Empire and the World Around It (I.B.Tauris, 2003), Artisans of Empire (I.B.Tauris, 2009) and The Ottoman and Mughal Empires (I.B.Tauris, 2019).
