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?
