Women in the Ottoman Balkans were founders of pious endowments,
organizers of labour and conspicuous consumers of western luxury
goods; they were lovers, wives, castaways, divorcees, widows, the
subjects of ballads and the narrators of folk tales, victims of
communal oppression and protectors of their communities against
supernatural forces. In their daily lives, they experienced
oppression and self-denial in the face of frequently unsympathetic
local customs, but also empowerment, self-affirmation, and
acculturation. This volume not only deepens our understanding of
the distinctive contributions that women have made to Balkan
history but also re-evaluates this through a more inclusive and
interdisciplinary analysis in which gender takes its place
alongside other categories such as class, culture, religion,
ethnicity and nationhood. This original and stimulating examination
of the lives of Muslim, Christian and Jewish women in southeastern
Europe during the centuries of Ottoman rule focuses especially on
those social relations that crossed ethnic and confessional
intercommunal boundaries.
