"Constantinople, v. 2 (of 2)" by Edmondo De Amicis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the culture and society of Constantinople, with a focus on the experiences and roles of Turkish women within the context of their society. Through vivid descriptions and observations, it seeks to shed light on the complexities of gender dynamics, cultural customs, and the contrasts between perception and reality. The opening of the book presents the author's impressions upon arriving in Constantinople, particularly regarding the surprising freedoms enjoyed by Turkish women, which contrast sharply with the common narratives of their oppression. De Amicis describes the women's clothing, including the yashmac and ferajeh, and discusses the societal expectations around modesty. He explores how, despite these constraints, women still exhibit a sense of freedom in public life, often interacting with men in subtle and playful ways. The initial chapters set the stage for a deeper examination of life in the Ottoman era, promising a blend of cultural observation and artistic prose that reflects the author's reactions to the striking and often paradoxical dynamics present in the city.
