The Second Constitution intellectuals aimed to change not only the state but also the society. The Committee of Union and Progress saw women as the key to this change and decided to increase the public appearance of women as a sign of modernity, and to make public use of the female energy as an economic necessity. With the Declaration of Freedom, the image of the ideal woman as a good Muslim, a good wife and a good mother was imbued with the creative woman image who would raise the kids to civilize them with revolutionary principles such as freedom, equality, justice, and fraternity. Thessaloniki, the political and cultural center of the Young Turks, was also the experimental region for womens organizations through charity work. The most political of the three womens magazines during the Second Constitution period was Kadin which started to be published in Thessaloniki. Kadin tried to redefine womens public and private roles and duties, to cover the rhetoric of educating women and important political pointers. The objective of this book is to demonstrate how the Young Turk feminism was shaped by the solidarist politics of the Committee of Union and Progress under the vestige of conscientiousness and progress. This book aims to investigate constructions, and discourses about the Second Constitution Woman and how women got involved in these polities. It also claims that the establishment of the identity of the new woman that started with the Tanzimat period reform movements and continued until the Republican period goes back to the Second Constitution period.

This volume provides a unique overview of the broad historical, geographical and social range of Latin and Greek as second languages. It elucidates the techniques of Latin and Greek instruction across time and place, and the contrasting socio-political circumstances that contributed to and resulted from this remarkably enduring field of study.
