Turkish Flapper Emulates Her American Sister In All But Rouge
San Antonio missionary Robert Stuckert recounts his three year stint in Constantinople at Robert College and observations of Turkish modern women described as veiled flappers. He notes urban fires, refugee flows, and the high cost of living driving some women to work as the harem era winds down. The piece blends his memories of teaching, a Turkish culture clash, and vivid scenes from Istanbul and surrounding cities.
