Women and Slavery in the Late Ottoman Empire: The Design of Difference - Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization
Zilfi, Madeline (University of Maryland, College Park)
This book examines gender politics through slavery and social regulation in the Ottoman Empire. In a challenge to prevailing notions, it shows that throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries female slavery was not only central to Ottoman practice, but a critical component of imperial governance and elite social reproduction.
