Review: This collection of articles by 14 Middle East historians is a path breaking work in the
history of Middle Eastern women prior to the contemporary era. The collection seeks to begin the task of
reconstructing the history of (Muslim) women's experience in the middle centuries of the Ottoman era,
between the mid-seventeenth century and the early nineteenth, prior to hegemonic European involvement in
the region and prior to the "modernizing reforms" inaugurated by the Ottoman regime.
Madeline C. Zilfi, Ph.D. (1976), the University of Chicago, is Associate Professor of History at the
University of Maryland, College Park. She has published many articles on Ottoman history and is the
author of The Politics of Piety, Bibliotheca Islamica, 1987).
