dc.description.abstractIn March 1892, Jewish ladies of Péra and Galata founded a new charitable society to relieve the pains of poor women and children who emigrated from Russia and Corfu and who were in distress in Istanbul. The misfortunes of many poor Jewish families of different quarters of the city also attracted their attention. By the same token, in 1904 Bulgarian women’s organizations were applying to the Consulates of the Great Powers to secure the release of a few Bulgarian women who were arrested by the Ottoman authorities due to their participation in the Ilinden Uprising of 1903. Again with objectives of helping other women in need, the Greek Women’s Society in Péra applied to the government in 1907, requesting authorization for their already functioning maternity clinic, opened to serve young, poor, and unwed women. Likewise, in 1909 Armenian intellectual and elite women of Istanbul reorganized the activities of their charitable societies in order to relieve the pains of massacre-stricken orphans and widows in the Adana district.en_US
