Adele Azar’s Notebook
Keyword(s):
This chapter demonstrates how at the turn of the century, the use of family endowments and benevolent associations created the earliest forms of independent women's groups. It studies the notebook of Adele Azar in light of Halide Edip's educational work in Syria and Mount Lebanon during the war. The main focus of these projects, in Azar's case, was the teaching of destitute girls and their preparation for public employment. Azar's notebook shows that charity and pious foundations not only were not opposed to the evolution of a more substantial independent women's movement, but also were often the very foundation from which these movements emerged.
