hey, I was curious if you have covered any Turkish woman? I’m from Turkey and I don’t think there is any REALLY inspirational woman because but maybe you would find one I don’t know. Your art is amazing and I’m in love with this project by the way :D

I did cover Empress Theodora of the Byzantine Empire in book one:

I got really close to including Turkish feminist Halide Edip Adivar in book two, because she did a lot of cool stuff, but what she did during the Armenian Genocide made me pretty uneasy.

Some other Turkish folk on my master list that I haven’t covered yet:

• Ada of Caria
• Aelia Pulcheria
• Alice of Antioch
• Artemisia II 
• Chrysame
• Esther Quira
• Hypsicratea
• Kosem Sultan
• Roxelana (who I think was actually born in Crimea…?)
• Sparethra
• Theodora Augusta
• Theophano of Byzantium

• Zoë Porphyrogenita
