Description

Explore the dramatic history of the Ottoman Empire with Imperial Harem: Women and Sovereignty. Published by Oxford University Press, this study examines how high-ranking women of the Ottoman dynasty achieved unprecedented political power from the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent in 1520 through the mid-17th century. Leslie Peirce challenges traditional views regarding gender segregation in Islamic society, arguing that women held much more than subordinate roles within the household. This book provides a deep look into the dynasty's reproduction policies and the rise of the imperial harem. It is an essential read for students and historians interested in Middle Eastern history and the social structures of the Ottoman era.
