Frank gives an update on the progress of Episode 17 and introduces Angela, the creator/host 'Women of the Ottoman Empire.' Don’t worry, the main narrative of Empires Podcast the Ottomans will continue, these EXTRAS are meant to deepen our understanding in certain areas.

Angela explores the Turkish Harem through the lens of renowned artist Jean-Auguste Dominique’s ‘The Turkish Bath’ and turns the colors and images inward upon themselves to reveal the deep-seated misconceptions of Ottoman society by the West. Angela then takes the listener through a brief historical survey of the Ottoman Empire, from its rise and fall, with a critical focus upon the Harem.

Along the way four critical phases in the development of the Harem are explored as the institution’s fortunes rise and fall with that of the Empire. The four phases will be the foundation of future podcast episodes and act as a guide for the listener.
