"An Englishwoman in Angora" by Grace Ellison is a travel account written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the author, the first British woman to visit Angora since the beginning of the Nationalist Movement, as she seeks to understand and foster Anglo-Turkish friendships amidst a time of political upheaval and cultural tension. The book delves into themes of identity, diplomacy, and the complexities of East-West relations. The opening of the work presents Ellison's reflections on her unique position as an Englishwoman in a country where her nationality had become a source of mistrust due to the recent war. In her foreword, she discusses the changing perceptions of Britain in Turkey, detailing her past relationships with Turkish people and expressing her desire to bridge the divide. As she boards the steamer "Pierre Loti" to return to Turkey, she reminisces about previous visits and the profound admiration she has for the country and its people. Set against the historical backdrop of political shifts and personal connections, her journey is both a personal mission for reconciliation and an exploration of the cultural landscape of Nationalist Turkey.
