History buffs...does anyone know anything about the Harem Revolts in Turkey several centuries ago?

Question

I read an article (sorry I don't have the source) that talked about the rise of feminism and included some historical issues from other cultures.

Does anyone have any information on the Harem Revolts in Turkey which took place around the 10-14 century?

Answer 1

Nevertheless, modern historians have been reassessing the conventional view of the 17th century as an era of pure stagnation and decline, instead viewing it as the key period in which the Ottoman state and its structures began to adapt to new pressures and new realities, internal and external. The relative ineffectiveness of most individual Sultans led to actual governance devolving to various proxies; at first to powerful members of the Harem, and, later, to the Grand Viziers, important among whom were the sternly reactionary Mehmed Koprullu (1656-1661), and his more moderate son Fazil Ahmed Koprullu (1661-1676), under whom the state reasserted itself with some vigour. The warrior Sultan Murad IV (1612–1640), who recaptured Erivan (1635) and Baghdad (1639) from the Safavids, is the lone example in this era of a Sultan who wrested effective control of the empire into his own hands
