In this episode, our guest Didem Havlioğlu offers one answer to this question through the life and works of Mihrî Hatun, an Ottoman woman from 15th-century Amasya whose poetry survives to this day. Mihrî was unique within the male-dominated sphere of early modern love poetry, and as we discuss in this podcast, her position as a woman was integral to her poetry and its meaning. These poems and the relationships of this exceptional writer are the subject of Havlioğlu&#39;s new book entitled <a href="http://syracuseuniversitypress.syr.edu/fall-2017/mihri-hatun.html" target="_blank"><i>Mihrî Hatun: Performance, Gender-Bending, and Subversion in Ottoman Intellectual History</i> (Syracuse University Press)</a>.</div> <br> </div><a href="https://www.ottomanhistorypodcast.com/2018/04/mihri-hatun.html#more">« Click for More »</a>
