The first study to explore the lives of female slaves of the
Ottoman imperial court, including the period following their
manumission and transfer from the imperial palace. Through an
analysis of a wide range of hitherto unexplored primary sources,
Betul Ipsirli Argit demonstrates that the manumission of female
palace slaves and their departure from the palace did not mean the
severing of their ties with the imperial court; rather, it signaled
the beginning of a new kind of relationship that would continue
until their death. Demonstrating the diversity of experiences in
non-dynastic female-agency in the early-modern Ottoman world, Life
After the Harem shows how these evolving relationships had
widespread implications for multiple parties, from the manumitted
female palace slaves, to the imperial court, and broader urban
society. In so doing, Ipsirli Argit offers not just a new way of
understanding the internal politics and dynamics of the Ottoman
imperial court, but also a new way of understanding the lives of
the actors within it.
