After the adoption of the culture of

+the Byzantines and Persians, awe find no

mention of women. in the literature of the

higher classes. Among the middle class,

however, this tradition was preserved.
In the seventeenth century came a reac-

tion, and a naturalistic school of litera-
ture sprang up which gives us many
interesting pictures of the women of
the time.

The humiliating defeat of 1744
caused the Turks to realize the back-
ward eondition of their civilization.
After the French Revolution of 1830
they entered upon a process of gradual
Westernization. During the next half
century, often referred to as'the Turk-
ish Renaissance, a great influence was
exerted upon the civilization of the
Edst by the French, and especially by
the philosopher poets. During’ the period
1830-1876 schools for girls of the higher
classes had been founded, and the oppor-
tunities ‘for education “were greater.
However, the real changes in the status
of women found their origin among the
tmiddle_class,_and sthe teachers of normal
schools.

Turkey was left with a disturbing
ture of old and new.
In 1907 he was deposed, and a Par-

government — established.
From this time on all parties united to
advance the position of women. Many
schools’ were openéd, and by 1918
women were admitted to universities.
The defeat of Turkey in the Balkan
war of 1913 stimulated women to take an
active part in the government of their
country. During the World War a
great part of the burden of administer-
ing the government and maintaining
the industries of the country fell upon
the Turkish women.

In 1920 the Turkish republic was
founded, for .both the men’ and the
women realized that the old order had
decayed beyond repair. The women
played an important part in the strug-
gle of the new state for survival and
recognition. . In 1922 the Lausanne
Conference recognized. the Turkish Re-
public, and the country entered upon
a period of peace and: prosperity.

During. the past. ten years educa-
tional equality has been established be-
tween men and women, through the
realization of the value of women to
the political and economic life of the
country.

The last six years have seen the
existence in reality, if not in form, of
a dictatorship in Turkey. ‘ However,
last year when a liberal measure of
reform ayas. referred. to the people, the
women united to defeat it, and with
the defeat of this measure the dictator-

aboyt purely through normal grdwth.
In the matter of religion the Turks
differ from the other Moslems in that,
while the latter recognize no law other
than the law of Islam, the Turks have
gradually separated church and state.
In: the nineteenth century they adopted
European forms of legislation, notably
the Napoleonic code and the English
penal code. Thus while Islamic leégis-
lation exists in Turkey, it controls only
