Abstract

Women in Algiers’s society, like the rest of women in the territories of the Ottoman Empire, did not hold political positions and did not preside over the economic or religious institutions. However, that did not stop her from exercising other roles in society at economical and social spheres. The archive documents keep to us important information that, if collected and compared, we can fix a picture that brings us closer to the reality that a woman was living at that time. So what are the documents that can be used to reach this? What is the status of woman at that time? Did she have the right to own lands, houses, shops, etc.? Did she have the right to inherit and be inherited? Did she make a possession mortmain or owned a mortmainable property?
