Nicole van Os (Leiden University): Doing research on Ottoman women and the International Women's Movement or, how to turn into an armchair scholar 

NicoleVanOsWeb
Abstract
In 1923, Arthur Field, the secretary of the Anglo-Turkish Society wrote an article in the Jus Suffragi, the periodical of the International Woman's Suffrage Alliance on Turkish women and the newly founded Turk Kadinlar Birligi. This article is generally seen as the first overture of the international women's movement towards Turkish women. However, sources which are for a large part available through internet reveal that such an overture took place much earlier. In this talk I will in the first place tell more about the first contacts of Ottoman, Turkish women with the international women's movement and secondly discuss the use of internet sources for the study of the Ottoman, Turkish women's history.
