At a Glance

This program will examine the Harem of the Ottoman Empire, including a discussion about why the Sultans had a harem, how the women were chosen and where they came from. Delve into the rights the women had and the hierarchy within the harem with scholar and guide Volkan Yazici. And for those who outlived their sultan, explore what their lives looked like after leaving the harem.
