Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Behind Turkish Lattices, the Story of a Turkish Woman's Life
Dear Haluleh and Nelufer, Nasty, Meliha, Sabiha and Leila, Hammiet Hanum and Nakieh Hainan, and the other Turkish ladies whose hospitality and acquaintance I have enjoyed -
For nine years I have lived in your beautiful city of Constantinople, and have learned to love Turkey and you. I have grieved with you over the dark days that are past, and have rejoiced with you over the wonderful transformation that July 1908 made in your land, and now I hope with you for the happy future of Turkey.
And for no one do I desire this future more than for the women of Turkey, to whom a free government brings a chance for growth and more abundant life. You whom I address are educated and enlightened women. May the day be hastened when all the women of Turkey shall receive the same development as you!
People in my country know little of yours, and perhaps least of all do they know the Turkish women. I write this book in the desire to make my American friends acquainted with my Turkish friends.
