Özet:

Ottoman woman represents one of the most important eastern image for orientalist travellers.Many travellers who visited the Ottoman Empire revealed the shape of a female image in their works in such a way that forming in their minds as they think the ottoman woman is a sexual thing hiding behind the veil. In terms of the information provided about the Ottoman women, woman travellers are separeted from male travellers in many ways.Information given by western woman travelers although there are traces of orientalist is more objective than information given by male travellers.This has been effective in correcting the false information about the Ottoman woman.Woman travellers , may be directly involved in the lives of Ottoman women with the advantage of being woman, transfer their observations without unprejudiced with following Ottoman women’s harem life, entertainment life, clothing styles, the marriage process.
