Women in the Ottoman Empire were treated like better than Americans??...Can you believe it!!?!?

Women in the Ottoman Empire were given freedom. They had freedom to work where they wanted and freedom to their own land. In the Ottoman Empire, women had better rights than the women throughout Europe and then America during the same time period. There were no laws that limited the rights if women. Women could work anywhere they wanted, but mostly they worked in commercial cities where they could be with other women in the same situation. Upper class women often managed businesses and controlled wealth. "Sultanate of Women" was the period in the Ottoman Empire where women had enormous power over the affairs of the state.
