Comprehension:
Read the passage and answer the
questions that follow:
The woman’s position in Turkey had
changed relatively little since the days of the Prophet. Despite
growing discussion of her predicament, both before and after the reign of Abdul Hamid,
she still lived subject to the rules of Islam, in seclusion, which amounted at
its worst to personal slavery and at its best to virtual segregation
from the outside world. The average Ottoman Turk, in his
masculine pride and possessiveness, chose still to see women
as the inferior sex, deficient in morality and
self-respect, requiring protection by the male against her own weaker
instincts. It had become a collective as well as a personal duty to
supervise her behaviour. Not merely the husband and father and brother but the
whole street,
the whole neighbourhood was concerned to watch over her, making sure that her
limbs were
totally and decently covered and intent to catch her out if she seemed to step
outside the
narrow path the society laid down for her. In Constantinople, no woman might be
seen walking in the street or driving in a carriage with a
man, even if he were her husband. If they went out together, he was obliged to
walk ahead, disregarding her. Never did she appear with him at social
gatherings; thus, there was in effect no mixed Moslem society. On trams and
boats, there was a curtain, to divide women from
men. In girls' schools, when feminine
education was introduced, the only male teachers were eunuchs.
In the theatre, the female parts were played by men, as in Elizabethan England,
or by Christian
women. When women were eventually allowed into the audience it was on certain ladies'
days set aside for them. Only in parts of Anatolia, among the
peasantry, were women freer, and indeed often unveiled before
all but strangers. For (thanks sometimes to the influence
of the brotherhoods) the peasants were often less orthodox in
their customs, and moreover, their women had, for
economic reasons, to work in the fields and perform other outdoor tasks for the
family living.
