The work describes the struggles of Zeyneb and her sister, Melek, as they escape the oppressive confines of their life in the Ottoman Empire, seeking freedom and new experiences in Europe. The overarching theme revolves around their attempts to navigate the cultural contrasts between Turkey and the West, particularly regarding women's rights and societal expectations. The opening of the memoir introduces Zeyneb's poignant reflections on her precarious situation and the emotional turmoil that accompanies their flight from Turkey. Through a letter addressed to a friend, Zeyneb expresses her exhilaration at having stepped into a world of freedom, one filled with novel impressions and unexpected challenges. She paints a vivid picture of her past life in a harem, characterized by secrecy and fear, contrasting sharply with the open windows and vibrant life she encounters in Europe. This duality sets the tone for her narrative, as she grapples with both the joys of newfound independence and the lingering anxieties of her past. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
