Letters and embroidery allowed medieval women to express their ‘forbidden’ emotions

Women were not allowed to engage widely in holy intellectual pursuits such as writing and interpreting religious texts, so they could only channel their religious fervour and closeness to God through their bodies.

Key Points: 
  • Women were not allowed to engage widely in holy intellectual pursuits such as writing and interpreting religious texts, so they could only channel their religious fervour and closeness to God through their bodies.
  • In the medieval period, prescriptive literature warned women of the dangers of anger – one of seven deadly sins.
  • But while they were discouraged from expressing their feelings in daily life, letters written by elite women of the medieval period are a rich source of information about their emotions.

Surviving letters

  • Not many of these letters have survived.
  • One that has was sent by Aline le Despenser, Countess of Norfolk, to the chancellor of England in around 1273.
  • In Renaissance Italy, the feeling of being powerless was palpable in many of the letters that women wrote.
  • A Corresponding Renaissance: Letters Written by Italian Women, 1375–1650 (2016), by historian Lisa Kaborycha, includes 55 letters written by women of different social status.
  • In one of her letters, she says: “Don’t be born a woman if you want your own way.” The letters by another Florentine women from the same period, Alessandra Strozzi are considered some of the most important insights into political and social life at the time.
  • In one of her letters she says: “Not seeing any of your children makes me wonder who are they doing all this work for.

Embroidered messages

  • These women used their needles as pens, subverting the traditional notion of female docility by incorporating symbols and messages into their designs.
  • During this period, embroidery was not just undertaken for practical purposes but
    was expected from virtuous upper-class women, part of expressing their “true” nature as dutiful and obedient wives and daughters.
  • Her designs were a symbol of her pride and resistance, especially as her letters were under constant surveillance.
  • While these letters and embroidered messages are a fascinating insight into the emotions of medieval women, most of them are from women of high social standing who had wealth and privilege.
  • And clever enough to find their own tools for claiming power, in a culture determined to silence them.

Turkey will stop sending imams to German mosques - here’s why this matters

For decades, the Turkish government has sent imams to work in mosques across Germany.

Key Points: 
  • For decades, the Turkish government has sent imams to work in mosques across Germany.
  • Imams are sent to Germany on four- to six-year rotations, based on a long-standing agreement between the two governments.
  • German politicians have accused Turkish imams of spying on their flocks or abusing their positions to promote support for Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party.

The ‘strategy’ of sending imams

  • It was only in the 1980s that the Turkish government began sending cohorts of imams abroad, after it had become evident that a large Turkish population was in Germany to stay.
  • One was to use state imams to create an alternative to Islamic groups active in Germany who opposed the secular Turkish state.
  • Sending imams abroad was an example of this strategy being exported to Turkey’s overseas diaspora.

Only Turkish imams for Germany

  • And they believed that imams employed by the Turkish state were guaranteed to be well-trained and moderate.
  • Already by the end of the 1980s, more than 500 Turkish state imams were active in Germany.
  • This meant that imams from Turkey or anywhere else in the world who wanted to work in Germany but were not employed by the Turkish government faced new hurdles.

Limits to the influence of Turkish state imams

  • Both governments assumed that Turkish state imams would be able to reshape German mosques, eliminate perceived extremism and ensure secular Islamic practice in Germany.
  • Those institutions did not disappear when competition in the form of Turkish state imams arrived.
  • Both now and then, many Muslims with Turkish roots choose to attend mosques with Turkish state imams, but many do not.

Imams trained in Germany?

  • In the coming years, imams trained in academies in Germany will replace more and more Turkish state imams as they end their rotations in Germany and return home.
  • According to this plan, the eventual result will be that only domestically trained, German-speaking imams will work in German mosques at some point in the near future.
