Description

Explore the final days of the Ottoman Empire through the eyes of Anna Bowman Dodd. This historical account follows the New York travel writer and journalist as she traveled to Istanbul alongside the American Ambassador to France. Dodd provides a detailed look at a society in transition, documenting the shifts brought about by modernity and progress in Turkey. This volume offers a deep look into various aspects of Turkish life during this era, including women's rights, marriage, and the management of the household. Readers can examine the realities of harems, education, and slavery, as well as the political landscape involving the Sultan's reign and nationalist movements. Part of the Cultures in Dialogue series, this edition includes a new introduction by Teresa Heffernan. It serves as a unique study of how Dodd navigated the American market for Orientalism while remaining reflexive about her own perspective. This book is an essential resource for those interested in Middle Eastern history, Turkish social structures, and the evolution of the Ottoman Empire.
