Beschreibung:
Women’s education becomes a prominent issue in the Ottoman Empire with the modern period, leading to the opening of the first modern public school for girls as a rüşdiyye (secondary) school. This article critically examines the curriculum of girls’ rüşdiyyes from their foundation in 1859 until the beginning of the Second Constitutional Period in 1908. The formation, development and content of the curriculum are investigated both in terms of social demands, and in comparison with the curriculum of boys’ rüşdiyyes. Curricula of girls and boys, women’s magazines and magazines on education of the selected period were analysed via document review. As a historical case study evaluation, this study employs descriptive analyses to obtain and interpret results. We argue that women’s education is perceived as a way of raising a moral generation, as well as keeping the family institution alive. When compared to boys’, there are fewer courses and more simplified content in girls’ curriculum. Although this gap closes in time, these curricula are still different regarding two aspects: domestic courses always exist, and religious content increases in girls’ curriculum throughout this period. Accordingly, women are prioritised in social discipline and their disciplinisation is seen as a priority.
