When I went across the bridge over the Golden Horn to Para where the Europeans and Greeks live I saw new sights. There the women go about with their faces uncovered, men and women talk to gether. All this was new to me, and it surprised me greatly. But the most significant thing to me was coming to know the life of the women in the Turkish Harems, and what the supposed great dignity of Mohammedan women really amounted to, and to learn the purpose of a man having so many wives.
