Abstract

This article explores the life and impact of Hürrem Sultan, also known as Roxelana, in the Ottoman Empire. Hürrem, a former slave, rose to become the most influential woman in Ottoman history. She caught the attention of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and became his trusted advisor and wife, defying societal expectations. Hürrem's influence extended beyond the harem, as she engaged in philanthropic activities and had a significant impact on political affairs. Despite facing criticism, Hürrem's legacy left a lasting impact on Ottoman history and the role of women in society. [Extracted from the article]
