However, in concrete terms, this merely indicated the beginning of women’s emancipation in the cultural sphere, a concept that prevailed only amongst the elite of Jewish society. Within the other social classes, emancipation was in its infancy and was more incidental, i.e., actions were carried out not for the sake of women’s liberation, but for other reasons and were only post factum defined as emancipation. The Jewish women of the Ottoman Empire lived in several worlds in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – the Muslim world, the Jewish world, and the Western world as it influenced the Empire. This study focused on the Jewish women of Izmir as a case study of Jewish communities in the Empire in light of these various influences.}, number={2}
