"Fleeing Istanbul in 1906 for fear of imperial reprisals, the [Hanoum] sisters traveled in disguise to Europe, hoping to find 'freedom' in the West. Zeyneb Hanoum's correspondence with the English feminist Grace Ellison ... provides an account of both of their restricted lives in Istanbul and of their disappointment with the state of emancipation of Western women."--Page 4 of cover
