An Englishwoman in a Turkish Harem Hardback
by Grace Ellison, Teresa Heffernan, Reina Lewis
Part of the Cultures in Dialogue: First Series series
Hardback
Description
Grace Ellison (d. 1935) actively encouraged dialogues between Turkish and British women at the outset of the twentieth century.
Connected with progressive Ottoman elites discussing female and social emancipation, Ellison stayed in an Ottoman harem.
Working as a respected journalist, she published articles about British-Turkish relations, Turkish nationalism, and the status of women across cultures.
This book recounts Ellison’s stay with her friend Fâtima and features reports on motherhood, employment, polygamy, slavery, harem life, modernization, veiling, and prominent women writers.
Despite an impressive legacy, Ellison and her work have almost disappeared from the historical record; the republication of this 1915 work aims to address this neglect.
