As Anna Bowman Dodd (1855-1929), a New York travel writer and
journalist, journeyed to Istanbul with the American Ambassador to
France she embarked on a detailed account of the city and its
people. Interested in documenting the changes in Turkey brought
about by the "embrace" of modernity and progress, she considers
Turkish women's rights, harems and marriage, the management of the
household, education, slavery, the Sultan's reign, and nationalist
movements in the last days of the Ottoman Empire. She caters to the
American market for Orientalism but is also reflexive about its
employment, both invoking and undercutting stereotypes as she
addresses the "Eastern Question."
