Honor and Belonging: Post-Harem Lives of Ottoman Palace Women

By Özlem Başarır

This book explores the post-harem lives of Ottoman palace women who, unlike valide sultans, mothers of princes (şehzades), or imperial princesses (hanım sultans), lost their formal prominence after the death of the reigning sultan and have remained largely overlooked in imperial historiography.
