Sultanate of Women (1533-1683) / History Mini-Documentary

Can you imagine a time when women had such power that foreign ambassadors would have to see them before the Sultans? Perhaps one of the most interesting chapters of Ottoman history is commonly referred to as the Sultanate of Women. A period that extended for roughly 150 years at the height of the Ottoman Empire’s reach, whereby female members of the Imperial household held a tremendous amount of influence over social and political affairs.
