- Description
- The author offers a new look at women's involvement in the mission movement, with a focus on the antebellum era. Most scholars have argued that the emergence of women as a dominant force in American Protestant missions in the late nineteenth century was an outgrowth of nascent feminist activism in the various denominations. This book suggests that the feminization of the later mission movement actually stemmed in large part from images of the 'degraded Oriental woman' that popular evangelical literature had been circulating since the 1790s and that the increasing focus on and involvement of women was supported by male denominational leaders as an important strategy for reaching the world with the Christian gospel. In the late eighteenth through the early nineteenth centuries, popular evangelical literature began circulating descriptions of women of the 'Orient' designed to illustrate the need of those women for the Christian gospel. Such powerful and widely disseminated images demonstrated to young American women their relatively privileged position in society and, throughout the nineteenth century, led many to support the cause of missions with their money and sometimes their lives. A belief in the desperate need of 'Oriental' women for salvation and social uplift was largely responsible for feminizing the American Protestant foreign mission movement

- Description
- In this study, Bernadette Andrea focuses on the contributions of women and their writings in the early modern cultural encounters between England and the Islamic world. She examines previously neglected material, such as the diplomatic correspondence between Queen Elizabeth I and the Ottoman Queen Mother Safiye at the end of the sixteenth century, and resituates canonical accounts, including Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's travelogue of the Ottoman empire at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Her study tells how women negotiated conflicting discourses of gender, orientalism, and imperialism at a time when the Ottoman empire was hugely powerful and England was still a marginal nation with limited global influence.

- Description
- At the beginning of the 18th Century, the Ottoman Empire remained the most powerful of Middle Eastern Empires. One often overlooked aspect was the role of powerful women, often the head of the harem, or wives or mothers of Sultans. These educated patrons left a great array of buildings across the Ottoman lands: powerful palaces and mausoleums, but also essential works for ordinary citizens, such as bridges and waterworks. Gulnus Sultan for example, the head of the imperial harem under Mehmed IV and mother to his sons, was often pictured on horseback, and travelled widely across the Middle East commissioning architects and craftsmen as she went. Her buildings were personal projects designed to showcase Ottoman power and they were built from Constantinople to Mecca, from modern-day Ukraine to Algeria.

- 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.

- Description
- Most research has accepted stereotypical images of Muslim women, treating their outward manifestations, such as veiling, as passive and oppressive. By approaching widely used sources with different questions and methodologies, this book redresses these deficiencies. Contributors revisit and reevaluate scripture and scriptural interpretation: church records involving non-Muslim women of the Arab world: archival court records dating from the present back to the Ottoman period: and the oral and material culture and its written record, including oral history, textbooks, sufi practices, art and architecture and the politics of dress. Contains: History then, history now: the role of medieval Islamic religio-political sources in shaping the modern debate on gender : The Qur'an and history: Muslim women: public authority, scriptures, and 'Islamic Law': Gendered sources in ethnohistorical research: the study of emigration from an Lebanese village: Individualism and political modernity: devout Catholic women in Aleppo and Lebanon between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries: Women, patronage, and charity in Ottomon Istanbul: Consciousness of self: the Muslim woman as creator and manager of Waqf foundations in late Ottomon Damascus: Sources for the study of slave women and concubines in Ottoman Egypt: Thoughts on women and slavery in the Ottoman era and historical sources: Observations on the use of Shari'a court records as a source of social history: Mahkama records as a source for women's history: 'And God knows best': the Fatwa as a source for the history of gender in the Arab world: Gender violence in Kanunnames and Fetvas of the sixteenth century: Mixed and other courts: women and modern patriarchy: Islamic personal law in American courts: Learning gendered modernity: the home, the family, and the schoolroom in th construction of Egyptian national identity (1885-1919): The use of textbooks as a source of history for women: the case of turn-of-the-century Egypt: Sources on the education of Ottoman women in the Prime Ministerial Ottoman Archive for the period of reforms in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: The history of the discourses on gender and islamism in contemporary Egypt (1908-1990): Female patronage of Mamluk architecture in Cairo: Islamic art as a source for the study of women in premodern societies: Discerning the Hand-of-Fatima: an iconological investigation of the role of gender in religious art: Oral traditions as a source for the study of Muslim women: women in the Sufi Orders: Political science without clothes: the politics of dress, or, contesting the spatiality of the state in Egypt.
