- From the page: "Contrary to popular belief, the harems of the Ottoman monarchs were not places where women lolled about eating bonbons and having their nails done.
Women of the Turkish harems were well educated, being able to read and write Turkish, French, Latin, Greek, and whatever other languages were appropriate. They were instructed in art, music, history, court customs and etiquette, as well as the arts of physical pleasure."
