2020
The aim of this paper was to clarify the role of women in the harem and to explore this
topic a bit in order to refute the existing prejudices. The main sources used to write this paper
was literature which predominately discussed the history of the Ottoman Empire, as well as
articles and scientific papers that specifically wrote about this topic. The paper is divided into
five chapters, including the introduction and the conclusion. In the begining it is written a brief
overview of the history of the Ottoman Empire so that we could more easily understand the
situation and events at court and the function of the harem in general. After that, it is explained
the concept, origin and hierarchy of the harem. In continuation is analized the Sultanate of
Women where have been listed the most influential women of that time and described the
situation at the court in their time. We can conclude that the most important female person was
the mother of the sultan, Valide Sultan. Given that she held all the strings in her hands instead of
the sultan in the period of the Sultanate of Women it was she who was an essential figure at
court.
