This book explores the post-harem lives of Ottoman palace women who, unlike valide sultans, mothers of princes (sehzades), or imperial princesses (hanim sultans), lost their formal prominence after the death of the reigning sultan and have remained largely overlooked in imperial historiography. These women, often without surviving children or powerful networks, have been relegated to the background of dynastic narratives and treated as peripheral figures in mainstream history writing. Focusing on the consorts of Sultan Abdülhamid I (r. 1774–1789), this volume examines how these women sustained their social status, financial stability, and symbolic ties to the dynasty in the aftermath of palace life. Drawing upon a wide range of Ottoman archival materials, including rental agreements, vakfiye (waqf deeds), household expense records, and posthumous inventories, it reveals the economic strategies, spatial transitions, and charitable activities through which these women rebuilt a sense of belonging and dynastic visibility outside the palace walls. The book demonstrates that although these women did not enjoy fixed entitlements from the central treasury, they succeeded in securing stable and long-term income sources through investments in rental properties, eshâm bonds, and agricultural estates. Their engagement with the imperial revenue system, distinct from that of valide sultans and hanim sultans, shows an alternative but equally structured model of female economic agency. By tracing these overlooked trajectories, the book offers a fresh lens on gender, space, and power in the Ottoman Empire and fills a critical gap in the literature on dynastic wealth, representation, and imperial femininity. The book will be of great interest to students, researchers, and educators working in the fields of Ottoman history, gender studies, Middle Eastern economic history, cultural anthropology, and sociology.
