- Description
- This book evaluates the lives of female palace slaves from the perspective of patronage relationship with the Ottoman imperial court between 1650 and 1800. The slaves who lived in the imperial harem, were later manumitted and transferred from the palace. This led to a new kind of relationship which had implications for the female slaves, the imperial court and urban society.
