At the beginning of the 18th Century, the Ottoman Empire remained the grandest and most powerful of Middle Eastern Empires. This book reveals the empire's role of powerful women - often the head of the harem, or wives or mothers of Sultans. These educated and discerning patrons left a great array of buildings across the Ottoman lands; opulent, lavish and powerful palaces and mausoleums, but also essential works for ordinary citizens, such as bridges and waterworks.
