I read the book 'Turkish Viceroys and Female Rulers in Islamic States', one of the works written by Bahriye Üçok. We found that 9 of the Turkish women who ruled Muslim states were rulers and 5 were regents. Bahriye Hanım's aim while writing the book was to show that those who think that Turkish women are relegated to the background and do not have a social life are wrong. It has shown that they are active not only in social life but also in political life. The book not only shows the lives of female rulers, but also the history of the states they ruled, as well as the family trees of those families. It also provides various documents. I liked the book, although I was confused in some places, it can be read because it gives extensive historical information.
