Sancar is a writer and lecturer on women’s issues. Born and raised in
the US, she has lived in İstanbul for nearly a quarter of a century
since her marriage to a Turk and has been studying the role of women
in the Ottoman Empire for about 10 years. She is a frequent lecturer
on the subject and has published two books and numerous articles about
women and the family. Sancar is a practicing Muslim and often speaks
publicly on her decision to wear the headscarf. Coming from such a
unique perspective (an American Christian convert to Islam), the
author is well-grounded to investigate the dichotomies of two
cultures.
