Abstract: This thesis, entitled “On A Mission: Grace Ellison’s An Englishwoman in a
Turkish Harem,” closely analyzes the rhetoric that is used within Ellison’s text. Ellison
writes about her adventures in Turkey from a uniquely British perspective. Her discourse
addresses such issues as the veil, the harem and women’s rights. Ellison’s socio-political
concerns, she claims, are centered on the Turkish women. Often times though, her
discourse shifts to address the progress and needs of Englishwomen of the early twentieth
century. This intimate study of An Englishwoman in a Turkish Harem reveals Ellison’s
progressive feminist ideas as well as the fervent nationalistic propaganda that she
espouses in order to champion her cause.
